Problem-Based Learning is a tool for professional development that has been used for 10+ years with aspiring, new, and experienced leaders at Summit Public Schools and other K-12 schools. Rooted in daily experiences and operational challenges at schools, participants consistently find it immediately applicable for student-centered decision-making. In this session, you’ll learn the types of Problem-Based Learning, best practices, and receive a how-to-implement guide to apply it to your context.
