A Deeper Dive into the Realm of Project Based Learning

We believe meaningful, pedagogy-driven professional learning opportunities produce positive educational transformation. In order to achieve this, we provide educators with online PD modules designed to give them a deeper understanding of the educational foundations, practical strategies, and applications of project based learning and authentic performance tasks.
