This workshop sends teachers through a PBL experience through the lens of a student. This workshop models best practices of PBL design and facilitation and provides opportunities for teachers to reflect on their learning and consider implications for their own practice. Recommended for teachers at any point in their PBL journey, but it can be especially helpful as a precursor to the Level I workshop.
