During this half-day session we will focus on deeper aspects of facilitating a standards based PBL unit. Teachers with experience in design and facilitation will get to dive into the different elements of a standards based design. Participants will get to work with peers to create a standards based project they can use with their students and teachers will develop a “toolkit” to utilize during the school year to help facilitate the design of solid projects.
During this half-day session we will focus on the protocols of PBL design. Teachers with experience in PBL and those ready to take their class to the next level will get to view and experience first hand the different protocols in action. We will discuss in detail the different aspects of design in each of the protocols. Participants will get to watch and take part in specific scenarios that arise in the course of a PBL unit. We will explore and share ways of handling each situation and develop a “toolkit” for teachers to utilize during the course of a PBL unit.
