New Tech Network PBL Showcase Series
PBL plus culture, assessment, technology, and college and career ready outcomes
Quality project-based learning is more than classroom practice, it is about how an entire school community organizes to engage students in learning that produces critical thinkers, problem-solvers, and collaborators. See how New Tech Network schools are organizing culture, teaching practices, and assessment practices in service of graduate profiles that meet the needs of our rapidly evolving society.
Attending a NTN PBL Showcase will:
- Inspire your school and/or district team to explore what is possible when students are engaged in authentic learning
- Engage your team in learning about PBL and learner centered practices through observation and discussion
- Connect your team with fellow educators who are new to their PBL journey and with those who are seasoned practitioners
