Workshop | Project Based Learning Professional Development

Description

ThoughtStretchers Education provides project-based learning professional development for K-12 schools, teachers, instructional coaches, and district leaders. Available on-site, virtual, or hybrid, ThoughtStretchers Education's PBL workshops help educators design rigorous, inquiry-rich projects aligned to learning goals, standards, assessment, authenticity, student agency, and craftsmanship.

ThoughtStretchers Education partners with schools and districts to design and scale high-quality PBL across classrooms while aligning the work with your mission, strategic priorities, and accountability expectations. Their professional development is grounded in the ThoughtStretchers PBL Model and supported by tools like the ThoughtStretchers Inkwire AI PBL Design Tool, which helps educators turn ideas into standards-aligned, deeper learning projects.

ThoughtStretchers Education's PBL professional development can help your school or district:
• Support leaders in creating a sustainable PBL implementation plan that aligns with district vision, standards, and accountability expectations.
• Build teacher capacity with professional development that emphasizes scaffolding, rigorous assessment, and cognitive engagement, not just student participation.
• Help schools design projects that use authentic audiences and rich inquiry to deepen critical thinking and transfer of learning.
• Provide ongoing support and resources for differentiation and important instructional mindsets and practices so all students can succeed in PBL environments.
• Offer personalized, responsive, and affordable partnership options that fit district budgets, calendars, and professional learning structures.
