Course Description

How can we as educators enhance our classroom settings to engage students in real-world problem-solving skill sets, while helping them to synthesize the realities of their cultural context? In this session, participants will come to understand a framework of Project/Problem-Based Learning (PBL) through the “7 Gold Standards” of PBL. Educators will practice designing a PBL unit that will work to engage cultural knowledge through local context, as well as global perspective and competencies. This session is intended for any grade level and content area educators.
