This four-day institute provides participants with
experience as PBL learners engaged in a problem.
From this experience, the participants analyze the
critical elements of IMSA’s PBL model through
dialogue with fellow participants and facilitators. They
apply this knowledge as they engage in the design
process for a problem to be used in their own
classrooms. Participants receive instruction and
mentoring from a team of experienced PBL
practitioners.
Skills gained by participants
- Identify learning objectives linked to state and national standards and benchmarks
- Design a PBL scenario considering local context
- Develop problem materials and documents
- Understand coaching in PBL
- Design assessment opportunities and the problem documents
