Project based learning (PBL)

Workshop Overview

Project-based learning involves students working on a project over an extended period of time that motivates them in solving an authentic problem. They demonstrate knowledge, understanding and skills by creating a product or presentation for a genuine audience. Through this approach, students develop deep knowledge in addition to critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication skills.

Project Based Learning, is a teaching method, and participants in the three-session workshop will explore theories behind the methodology and put those principles into practice. They will also explore planning and assessment practices to support PBL and look at best practices for implementing those plans in the classroom.
