Project Slice
July 28, 2020 - Pre-Conference
A project slice demonstrates what it’s like to be a learner in Project Based Learning, by engaging participants in an immersive PBL experience—a “slice” of a project. Schools and districts can use it to build understanding of PBL in a staff or school community. At the PBL Ohio Institute, it’s also a great networking opportunity.
Project slice participants will engage as learners in a transformative one-day project that models the key features of the PBL process. The day will mirror the flow of a larger project, beginning with an engaging launch/ entry event and authentic driving question. Teams will work together to build knowledge, understanding and success skills, and develop and critique products and answers to the driving question. The day culminates with team presentations of their products, followed by structured reflection on what they have learned about PBL. At key moments throughout the day, participants will be encouraged to “put on their teacher hats” and reflect on the pedagogical moves they are experiencing as PBL learners, as well as implications for their own contexts.
Learn more about the power of Project Slices.
Taking Climate Action NEW!
The driving question for this Project Slice is: “How can I commit to climate action and contribute toward the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals?” Teams explore major contributors to climate change, learn about their carbon footprint, identify actions that can mitigate their carbon footprints, and evaluate the impacts of those actions. Participants will then identify an action they can personally commit to that is feasible, measurable, and sustainable.
$199: ONLINE Project Slice one-day workshop only
$798: ONLINE Project Slice + three-day workshop of your choice
Registrants who attend both the Project Slice and any three-day workshop may purchase up to 2-semester hours of graduate credit through Otterbein University for additional $200 per credit hour. Click here to view the graduate credit form.
