Every student deserves to know they are valuable and have a purpose in the world. Authentic learning experiences lead students to discover their purpose, and help prepare them for the future. Magnify Learning provides Project Based Learning professional development workshops nationwide, with both in-person and virtual formats available. Our PBL workshops teach and model a PBL framework and enable educators and youth workers to create authentic learning experiences through their design of PBL Units. CUSTOMIZATION
• We build on the good work you’re already doing in your school/district, and craft a workshop agenda that builds PBL around that existing work.
• We design a professional development session and agenda around the specific needs and questions of you and your staff. AUTHENTICITY
• We believe in developing authentic community-based PBL Units based on real world problems, NOT scenarios.
• We use PBL Certified Facilitators who have experience with PBL in their own classrooms and schools.
• We’re transparent about who we are, what we believe, and how much it costs to work with us. CULTURE
• We believe in a building a long-term lasting partnership with each of the schools/districts we work with.
• We believe in modeling and equipping you and your staff with tools and structures that help build and reinforce a healthy PBL culture. PBL workshop participants experience a Project Based Learning environment while learning the nuts and bolts of PBL. Each participant will:
• Leave the three-day workshop with a fully vetted, standards-based PBL Unit ready to implement with confidence.
• Learn the processes and structures to create future PBL Units.
• Receive training, feedback and insight from PBL Certified trainers who have experience teaching Project Based Learning in their own classrooms. Components of Project Based Learning:
