Introduction to Project-Based Learning

Description

Facilitated by David and Clare Price, this two-day immersion program for teachers and/or teams of teachers provides everything you need to get started with PBL. Participants will receive a USB with resources, tools and materials (including a PBL manual) to get you started.

This workshop will address what PBL is (and isn't); the key ingredients to effective PBL; how to design, plan, execute and assess great projects for students; doing the project yourself; how to time a project; protocols to enable students to critique their work; building in differentiation and personalisation; how to exhibit and archive projects; and assessment strategies.
