Service Descriptions:
PBL Prep: A one day workshop for individuals, grade-level, or whole school team. The primary aim of a PBL Prep workshop is to increase the teaching and fostering of deeper learning skills at a school, through the use of New Tech Network Learning Outcome Rubrics and student-centered teaching practices aligned to the outcomes.
March 25th. This content is also available upon request.
Portrait of a Graduate: This one day workshop aims to help school and district teams identify what deeper learning outcomes look like and why they are so critical for college and career success. Connections are made between the impetus for school innovation and what success looks like in the graduates of schools. Some teams come with an already articulated “Why” and/or Portrait of a Graduate and others use this workshop to build the first iteration of one. In both cases, teams develop ways to articulate the purpose and strategy behind school innovation efforts and specific next steps to get there.

PBL Teams: PBL Teams is a 2 day workshop with an additional 3rd day of a New Tech Network Development Coach on your site to continue the work. The Teams training focuses on:
- Designing and teaching standards-based projects
- Creating a professional and collaborative culture among students and staff
- Utilizing technology to enhance learning, and
- Designing assessments and providing feedback targeting the New Tech’s Learning Outcomes.
Teams use several structures that we know work to transform the learning environment; a focus on New Tech Learning Outcomes, team-teaching of integrated courses where possible, a 1:1 student computer ration (for grades three and up), and dedicated collaboration time for faculty. This training is focused on leadership and school teams to attend together. Cost is per school. Contact us at info@newtechhighcfe.org for pricing.
