Summer Refresh: How to Design a PBL Unit Around What Matters Most

What We'll Cover

In addition to providing us with some much-needed rest, summer (or other extended school breaks), is an ideal time for refreshing our curriculum. We have more time to reflect on our teaching approaches and revisit what’s important for us to teach. In this webinar, you’ll get the tools you need to begin to build a high-performance PBL unit from start to finish.

We'll explore:

How to leverage your time this summer to build the best PBL unit for your context
What elements need to be in your unit to lead to an engaging, rigorous learning experience for students this fall
5 PBL myths (and the nuanced reality behind each one)
A roadmap for designing PBL units—and a PBL implementation roadmap for leaders
The tools and next steps for developing your first high-performance PBL unit
