Description

How does furniture position students to solve problems as they work on real-world projects? Project-based learning (PBL) is a contemporary teaching practice steeped in inquiry. The success of PBL is heavily reliant on the resources and environment schools and teachers provide for students. Equipping students to become problem solvers, game-changers, and creative agents relies on the understanding of the project process, and how the environment can elicit higher quality thinking through each stage of the process. Special Guest Jill Ackers, ALEP Senior Learning Designer Jill Ackers has taught and consulted with schools and organizations worldwide to transform various learning ecosystems for the 21st century. As an educator with 20+ years of experience, she brings her passion for constructivist learning languages, and technology to educators through authentic, relevant learning and professional development.
