Implementing PBL in Early Childhood 
Authors: Sara Lev, Erin Starkey and Amanda Clark
Friday, July 31 | 8:00-8:45 am EST.  
Many believe there are too many barriers for implementing PBL in the early elementary grades. Join these PBLWorks National Faculty and Implementing PBL in Early Childhood authors as they share how PBL works - and can thrive in early childhood classrooms. Their just-released book is flying off the shelf as early educators are seeking out these strategies. ​
The PBLWorks 5th annual PBL Ohio Institute is the Midwest's premier Project Based Learning event of the year.  Each year, we bring together over 500 PK-16 teachers, instructional coaches, and school and district leaders who want to connect with each other and learn more about PBL. It's not like other conferences that have a variety of short sessions by many different presenters—it's an institute, where participants go through a continuous multi-day experience. We believe PBL transforms students - and the PBL Ohio Institute transforms educators!
Picture
Project Based Learning (PBL) is an instructional strategy in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to a complex question, problem, or challenge. The Fairfield County Educational Service Center’s PBLMatters program works in conjunction with PBLWorks to provide comprehensive, high-quality PBL learning opportunities. PBLMatters was established in 2019 to provide fully-tiered support for teachers and organizations as they progress through the PBL process.
