Hello colleagues, I'm super excited about the upcoming event on September 13 at 3:30 ET with Kristi Reyes on Project-Based Learning (PBL). PBL is a highly engaging instructional approach that builds language and content in meaningful ways.
Importantly, Kristi will focus on projects that integrate technology as a powerful way to give ABE and English learners real-world work preparation. Students can build their knowledge in many topics while developing oral and written communication skills., and carefully planned projects can address standards, support the development of critical soft skills, and give learners a sense of empowerment, not to mention tech skills! Attendees will learn about projects they can use right away in their classes.
Let us know how you've used projects in your classroom and feel free to post questions here in our group.
