Solving the Problems of Problem-Based Learning: Diminished Collaboration Skills

Problem-based learning and project-based learning place a higher premium on student collaboration than traditional classroom assignments. But students do not come to school with a fully formed set of collaborative skills. Compounding this problem is that the disruptions caused by the pandemic have limited students’ opportunities to work together as problem-solving teams.

So, what can we do about it?

In this new webinar, expert teacher and coach, Joyce Jackson, will . . .

• Lay out the key research-based principles that highly effective teachers use to guide cooperative work in the classroom.
• Demonstrate how these principles can be used to boost the power of problem-based learning.
• Model a set of classroom-ready tools that help teachers put these principles into action so that all students can solve problems together and produce high-quality work.

BONUS: All participants will receive a FREE TOOL along with a set of student handouts that will increase the power of collaborative learning.
