Discipline-Rich Project-Based Learning

Math and science education play a crucial role in empowering individuals to make informed decisions for personal well-being and active civic engagement. However, there are challenges in effectively implementing project-based learning (PBL) to enhance student learning and engagement in these subjects. Learn how project based learning (PBL) can support student engagement in learning complex content and practice standards in Math & Science. Participants will build their capacity for planning and implementing projects that situate learning within real-world contexts. Participants will be equipped with a project planning framework and tools to create engaging, real-world projects that support student learning and engagement in complex content and practice standards. By the end of the course, teachers will be better prepared to provide all students with access to rigorous math and science instruction through PBL, ultimately empowering their students to make informed decisions in their personal and civic lives.

Highlights

• Engage in PBL activities as a teacher, as a learner, and as a PBL teacher of math and science
• Produce a skeleton of a PBL project for their course that includes a coherent content storyline and a disciplinary practice pathway
• Leave with a plan for implementing their project, including tools and resources to guide planning and instruction
• Possess the tools and skills necessary to develop and implement PBL lessons
