This course is grounded in the belief that students learn best by doing. Project Based Learning engages students of all learning styles and ability levels. The process approaches complex questions that encourage independent thought, inquiry, and critical thinking skills through a rigorous and standards-based experience. Project Based Learning is not simply the end of a unit; rather, it is the holistic academic experience. 

Through an actual, immersive Project Based Learning experience, course participants will discover how to create a driving question, how to design authentic assessments, how to align process with standards, how to integrate 21st century skills, how to engage student voice and choice, and how to manage an effective project. Participants will not only experience Project Based Learning first-hand but will also have explicit time to develop project based learning experiences for their students.
