PBL 101: An Introduction to Project-Based Learning
Description
<p>The Los Angeles County Office of Education presents a three-day workshop for K-12 educators to learn how to utilize Project Based Learning as an instructional approach to implement Common Core State Standards and prepare students for college, career and citizenship in the 21<sup>st</sup> century. In Project Based Learning (PBL), students go through an extended process of inquiry in response to a complex question, problem, or challenge. Rigorous projects help students learn key academic content and practice 21st Century Skills (such as collaboration, communication, and critical thinking). Michelle Herczog, Ed.D., from the Division of Curriculum and Instructional Services at the Los Angeles County Office of Education will guide participants in utilizing Buck Institute for Education materials to design, manage and assess standards-focused projects and the student work that is generated by them. Classroom teachers, curriculum specialists, and school administrators are encouraged to apply in teams of three to four. </p>
