Meaningful Project-Based Learning
Project Based Learning looks different across the board, depending on who you talk to in K-12 education. How can we create project based learning that will engage students in a deeper and more meaningful way? Bloom’s Taxonomy is one approach that helps teachers to capitalize on their curriculum by creating intentional project-based learning scenarios for learners in their environment. In this session, learners will gain a thorough understanding of how to create project-based learning scenarios for their class. Participants will come away with a toolkit including thinking map templates and examples to use in the classroom.
