Description
When students work on real problems, create products that matter and present them to a real audience, learning becomes deeper, more motivating and longer lasting. This project-based learning course gives you a clear, step-by-step method to design, run and assess projects in any subject, from primary and secondary to vocational education. You will move beyond one-off activities and learn how to build complete projects where students take responsibility for their own learning.
Over five days, you will follow the whole PBL journey: what project-based learning is and what makes a project high quality, the key strategies that make it work, how to plan a project, how to guide it in the classroom and how to assess it. You will learn to write strong driving questions, give students voice and choice, organise effective teamwork and act as a coach rather than a lecturer. You will also discover simple digital tools for collaboration and presentation, and ways to connect projects with families, local organisations and the wider community. Throughout the week, you will experience PBL as a participant, so you understand it from the students' side.
By the end of the course, you will have designed your own complete project for your students, ending in a real product or public presentation, and created a plan to bring PBL into your teaching.
