PBL in the City is a fabulous opportunity for all educators from all grade levels and types of schools to dive deep into professional learning focused on high-quality PBL. We welcome teachers, curriculum specialists, school and district leaders, instructional coaches, and teacher preparation faculty to join other like-minded colleagues on their PBL journeys. You do not have to be from NY to join us, you just have to be able to travel there!
How is PBL in the City Different from other conferences?
PBL in the City is a one-of-a-kind, multi-day event focused exclusively on Project Based Learning. This year on the East Coast, we will bring together educators — K-12 teachers, instructional coaches, and school and district leaders — who want to begin and advance their Project Based Learning practice, and connect with a community of like-minded peers. This event isn’t your ordinary conference with a variety of short sessions by many different presenters. It's an immersive professional learning experience focused on supporting educators as they create projects and plans for implementing Gold Standard PBL in their classrooms, schools, and districts. You’ll be actively engaged in deep, focused, real work with your peer collaborators. We believe PBL transforms students – and PBL in the city will transform educators.
What do I need to bring to be successful in the workshops?
Please plan to bring a laptop and charger to the event. The event site will provide free Wifi access for all participants. Prior to the conference, you will receive an email from your NYSCATE outlining the technical needs for you to be fully engaged in your workshop.
