Description

The Middle Years Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Incubator Network will provide an opportunity for educators to build their collective knowledge in designing PBL learning and assessment inquiries. Each workshop will be divided into two parts:

• The first part will be professional learning, focusing on core concepts of PBL to deepen knowledge of best practice in designing transdisciplinary learning.
• The second part will be the incubator, providing time for educators to craft their own PBL inquiry. Educators will bring a current PBL inquiry they wish to develop and choose the incubation station based on their design needs. Educations will work collectively at their incubation station to support each other to design a specific part of their PBL inquiry.

Workshops will be held from 4 – 6 pm at the Catholic Education Office, Conference Centre Room 8.
