PBL World 2019
Our premiere Project Based Learning conference is coming back to Napa, CA in June 18-20.
This one-of-a-kind, multi-day event brings together educators who want to begin and advance their Project Based Learning practice, and connect with a community of their peers. We're creating an exceptional experience for you!
At PBLWorks, we build the capacity of teachers and school leaders to design and facilitate quality Project Based Learning.
Why PBL?
Because Project Based Learning works. It engages students in learning that is deep and long-lasting. PBL can be transformative for students – especially those furthest from educational opportunity.
