Phase: Launch

Available Now

Overview

Problem-based lessons structure class time with a narrowed focus on a series of connected activities where students build understanding for themselves. Preparing to teach a problem-based lesson involves an understanding of the overall lesson purpose on how each activity contributes to the learning goals. In this third 2-hour virtual workshop of the launch series, participants will explore approaches to preparing to teach lessons in a problem-based way.

This is the third workshop of a 3-5 session virtual workshop series designed for those just getting started with the curriculum. In this series, participants will gain awareness of the structure and goals of the curriculum and develop an understanding of how it is designed for problem-based learning and its implications on their instructional practice.
