Why School Leaders Partner with Us
Deep PBL Experience
PBLWorks brings decades of experience designing, studying, and supporting high-quality Project Based Learning across diverse school systems.
Flexible Solutions
Every school leader operates within different realities—a single professional learning day, a multi-year rollout, or something in between. Whatever the timeline or constraints, PBLWorks can suggest a solution built to fit and achieve the goals at hand.
A True Partnership
We work alongside leadership teams to support implementation over time—adjusting, learning, and improving together.
Services for School Leaders and Teachers
Start with an Entry-level Workshop
Choose one of three entry-level workshops based on your goals and the time you can commit to professional learning for your team.
Discover PBL - a one-day quickstart to get started with PBL
Facilitate PBL - a two-day workshop for ideal implementation
Design PBL - our three-day foundational workshop for those who want to design projects
Sustain support with Coaching
Keep the momentum going with our flexible Teacher Coaching Days. Our National Faculty will suggest topics based on your unique needs — and if you don't see a topic to fit your context, we'll customize something to meet your needs.
Consider Teacher Online Consultancies, a bank of 20 hours to use throughout the year in 30-minute or 60-minute increments to discuss a problem of practice.
Deepen learning - for you and your team
When you're ready, round out your PBL professional learning with some advanced workshops for teachers and instructional coaches.
Consider one of these three-day workshops:
An Integrated Approach to PBL Implementation
High-quality Project Based Learning requires more than vision—it requires alignment. TEACH provides a ready-to-use PBL curriculum that helps schools get started quickly while creating consistency across classrooms.
As staff change and new educators join, TEACH supports sustainability through shared structures, common language, and embedded guidance. When paired with professional learning aligned to the curriculum teachers use every day, this integrated approach helps school leaders scale PBL with confidence and maintain quality over time.
