PBL Training Redesign

This document outlines a "LEAP Learning Lab" titled "Project Planning with Purpose: Designing Engaging Project-Based Learning Experiences," designed to last 90 minutes. It emphasizes a planning workshop approach, moving beyond mere understanding of Project-Based Learning (PBL) to practical application. The learning outcomes for participants include designing projects using LEAP's process, writing a meaningful driving question, aligning their project to a culminating event, and planning the initial weeks of instruction with the LEAP Project Plan and Outline. The workshop is structured into several parts, beginning with a welcome and objectives that set expectations and highlight the importance of planning. Subsequent sections guide participants through starting with the end in mind, building a solid foundation for their projects, and transitioning from a vision to a detailed plan. It concludes with daily lesson considerations, applying "The LEAP Way in Action," and a closing reflection. The overall flow breaks down each section by time, identifying the key activities and expected outcomes. The document also suggests reframing the session title to "Planning Engaging Projects at LEAP" to focus on practical application rather than heavy academic terminology, ensuring the approach is accessible and directly applicable to the work of teaching artists. The resources provided include a project overview, project outline, lesson plan, activity examples & guide, and a cycle roadmap.
