Then, we’ll virtually go into a classroom to see PBL in action, consider when and how the educators are using PBL class to encourage authentic exploration and joy, and chat with them along the way. We’ll also explore how and why each constituency — leader, teacher, and student — play an important role in ensuring purposeful learning.
