What We'll Cover

In this webinar, you'll learn why the end of the school year (and even summer school) are great times to try PBL. You’ll learn how to make the most of the last few weeks of school, especially if your students have instructional time after standardized testing.

  • How to identify a project that matters to students to increase motivation
  • Why "raising the stakes" leads to better work from students
  • How to build your unit around core skills, concepts, and standards to ensure academic challenge (even at the end of the school year
