15371 Catalyzing Student Engagement & Mastery through Project Based Learning

What if rather than hearing your students say, “I’m not good at math,” (or science) you could hear them say “math is my favorite class!”?  This session is for high school math and science teachers ready to learn how to use the elements of authentic Project Based Learning as a catalyst to restore the joy, wonder, and excitement of these subjects, while also enabling an increase in rigor and student depth of knowledge. Participants will work in a collaborative environment to develop a working knowledge of the elements of High Quality PBL, including how to leverage school and community resources to make the learning more applicable and relevant to things students care about. Come to NCCAT with one or more project ideas that will be transformed into a single, standards-based project that is ready for launch in your school.


No classes are being offered at this time for this course.
