For schools located outside of the United States, we offer select professional development online workshops to support groups of teachers (up to 35)  as they design and facilitate Gold Standard Project Based Learning with their students.  These services have inclusive pricing per workshop for a maximum number of participants. We welcome individual international educators to PBL World. Check here for more information.

All workshops are facilitated in English. Offerings are contingent upon time zone compatibility. Offerings include:

Project Slice

Experience PBL as a learner by engaging in an immersive PBL experience—a “slice” of a project. This features the key elements of PBL in action. Choose from one of these workshop options:

• The Art of Persuasion: The driving question for this Project Slice is, “How can we inspire people to create change?” Teams create a persuasive visual design for a marketing/social media campaign for an issue they care about. They research their topics, analyze mentor texts, and learn how to use rhetorical appeals to craft a compelling and effective message. Teams work together to answer the driving question, “How can we inspire people to create change?”
• Sustainable Future: The driving question for this Project Slice workshop is, “How do we manage shared resources for a sustainable future?” Teams explore and apply economic and environmental science theories related to the “commons.” They create case study presentations focused on local and global situations in which the needs of individuals come into conflict with the needs of the collective, and present possible solutions to these challenges. 

PBL 101

This foundational three-day workshop in Project Based Learning—based on our model of Gold Standard PBL—is the best way to begin your PBL journey. In this workshop, you’ll plan a Gold Standard project for your students and learn equity-centered teaching practices to facilitate high-quality PBL. The PBL 101 workshop models the Project Based Learning process.

Sustained Support Visits

Reflect on ways in which Transformative Social Emotional Learning (SEL) serves as a lever for equity by lifting up identity, agency, belonging, curiosity, and collaborative decision-making for students in Project Based Learning.

Deepen your ability to implement a Gold Standard project by learning how to reflect on and strengthen the Essential Project Design Elements and Project Based Teaching Practices in a specific project. Sustained Support Visits are designed to provide focused support for teachers to implement projects effectively.

Focus Areas Include:

• Building a PBL Culture
• Formative Assessment
• Literacy
• Managing the Process
• Peer Critique

*The Implementation Studio can be tailored by your National Faculty to address specific needs if offered topics are not an ideal fit.

PBL Coaching

Deepen your expertise as a PBL instructional coach or leader by engaging in this three-day experience where you will create a PBL Coaching Toolkit to help you support teachers with the implementation of Gold Standard PBL.

PBL Leadership

Dive in with your leadership team and learn how to grow the conditions needed for Gold Standard Project Based Learning to thrive in your system. In consideration of your current reality, you will design a customized strategy to launch or advance Project Based Learning in your unique setting. 

Due to the collaborative nature of the workshop, participants are required to attend as a team of 3–4  individuals. Both new and experienced practitioners of PBL are welcome.
