IMPORTANT NOTICE: This program is traditionally a face-to-face classroom training program, but the Summer/Fall 2020 Semester section will be held online as we prioritize distance learning in response to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Join this experiential workshop to learn how and why to create collaborative problem-based learning in any given classroom scenario -in-person, remote, and hybrid.
Participants will discover methods to develop a classroom community and approaches to turn the content objectives into problems for students to solve both collaboratively and independently. This model of learning embeds Competency-Based teaching approaches to increase student engagement and team work skills.
We will share strategies to teach students communication, problem solving and collaboration skills in order to engage them in high quality learning opportunities within a safe classroom environment. Participants in this workshop will be immersed in a collaborative problem-based learning environment while the instructor models the tools and approaches being taught.
