Working together to improve our technical workforce through problem-based learning

    Are you Faculty, a Teacher, or an Administrator supporting the preparation of students for the nation’s Advanced Technological workforce? Do you teach or administer science, computer science, engineering technology or an industrial technology subject (e.g.manufacturing, logistics), English, or math?
     Join us in beautiful Charleston, SC for the Instructional Learning Institute: Roots and Wings 2013, co-sponsored by SC ATE and the Destination Problem-Based Learning Project as a PBL Practitioner, Scenario Builder, or PBL Administrator.
    Are you seeking ways to infuse 21st Century capabilities into your classroom without sacrificing content learning? Do you want your students to leave your classroom knowing how to learn? How to work through failure to achieve success? Problem- or Scenario-Based Learning (PBL/SBL) can help you accomplish those goals. Attend as a PBL Practitioner (PP).
    Are you an experienced PBL practitioner? Are you ready to create your own problem-based learning scenarios, tasks, and assessments to enrich advanced technological education in your classroom and institution? Are you willing to implement the tasks in your class by Spring 2014? Attend as a Scenario Builder (SB).
    Are you a community college or high school administrator interested in learning about incorporating PBL/SBL instruction to improve student learning outcomes? Are you willing to support and advocate for PBL and/or supporting scenario building and PBL implementation in your institution or professional community? Attend as an Administrator/PBL Supporter.
