2018 CCS Service-Learning/PBL Workshop
This interactive graduate course is designed to help Columbus City Schools teachers more effectively integrate service-learning/PBL, 21st Century Skills, and career development to inspire a "sense of passion and purpose" in their students. This type of instruction enables young people to take charge of their learning and lives as they "create their legacies." This course was sponsored by Columbus City Schools and the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation.
2018 CCS Service-Learning/PBL Workshop DetailsService-learning is an instructional strategy that directly connects community service with the school curriculum, adding rigor, relevance, and relationships to the learning process and helping students actively address significant local/global needs. It is an especially engaging form of PBL—an instructional approach that enables students to “do the work of real people” by investigating important questions and solving authentic problems.
The 2018 CCS SL/PBL Workshop will meet 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (coffee, etc. available at 8:30 a.m.), on June 26 and 27. The August 7 session will meet 8:30 am to 11:30 am (coffee, etc. available at 8:00 am).
