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 PBL Matters program works in conjunction with PBLWorks to provide comprehensive, high-quality PBL learning opportunities. PBL Matters was established in 2019 to provide fully-tiered support for teachers and organizations as they progress through the PBL process.
​ 
The PBL Matters Institute, hosted by the Fairfield County ESC and PBLWorks, is the Midwest's premier conference for Project Based Learning. Each year, we bring together dedicated K-12 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 multiday experience. We believe PBL transforms students - and the PBL Matters Institute transforms educators!
