PBL Coaching

July 29-31, 2020 | Three-day workshop
For educators in a school or district coaching rolePrerequisite: PBLWorks PBL 101 Workshop
The three-day PBL Coaching Workshop provides instructional coaches and leaders with the knowledge and skills to support teachers in project implementation. The workshop focuses on strategies coaches can use to support and enable high quality PBL implementation. Participants will review the PBL Teaching Practices through a coaching lens, explore resources and protocols, learn to use a PBL Coaching Cycle, and develop a PBL Coaching Toolkit to use at their school sites.

THE WORKSHOP
During this workshop, you will:
  • Engage in project critiques to analyze the design strengths and areas for growth of projects
  • Collaborate with fellow educators to identify resources and strategies for coaching toolkits
  • Create coaching questions aligned to the PBL Coaching Cycle and project based teaching practices
  • Engage in a mini-workshop to learn how an existing model of coaching can be used to support Project Based Learning
  • Learn to use peer-driven feedback protocols
Facilitated by one of Buck Institute’s expert National Faculty, the workshop is a balanced blend of direct instruction, videos from the field, hands-on work, resource sharing, and peer collaboration and feedback. 
The PBLWorks Ohio 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 PBLWorks 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.

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!
