Join us for a workshop inspired by giraffes and Brookfield Zoo’s
HABITAT AFRICA to learn practical, engaging strategies to implement
problem-based learning in your classroom. Problem-based learning is an
engaging, student-centered approach to learning that challenges
students to explore, think critically, and problem-solve as they work
together to find solutions to “real-life” issues. The workshop
will share practical tools and resources to support questioning,
organization, student planning, problem-solving, and reflection. Learn
about giraffes, conservation and nature as we model "start to finish"
strategies that support problem-based learning in all subject areas.
This class is targeted to teachers in grades 4-8. High School
educators are welcome, as content can be adapted for higher grade
levels. 3.5 professional development hours are available for
participants who provide their IEIN number and meet attendance
requirements. Professional development credit will be documented and
administered on the ISBE PD+ site.
