Program Overview
Looking for effective ways to actively engage your students and make learning more meaningful? Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a dynamic instructional approach that connects academic content to real-world challenges, making learning both relevant and memorable. PBL encourages students to take ownership of their learning through in-depth inquiry, problem-solving, and hands-on projects that reflect authentic tasks and issues. In addition to reinforcing core academic skills, PBL also cultivates essential life skills such as collaboration, effective communication, critical thinking, and time management. In this course, you will explore the key components of high-quality PBL, analyze successful models, and design your own engaging, standards-aligned PBL unit tailored to your grade level and subject area. By the end of the course, you'll be equipped with a practical, classroom-ready unit that fosters student agency and deeper learning.
