School operations can't stop during COVID--here's how you can hold a productive virtual school board meeting during a pandemic

Registration is Now Open for the 10th annual PBL World Conference


PBLWorks’ premiere professional development conference for Project Based Learning will take place online on June 21-24, 2021

PBLWorks, the leading provider of professional development for high-quality Project Based Learning (PBL), will host its 10th annual PBL World conference virtually on June 21-24, 2021 with the theme “Racial Equity at the Center.”

The conference, which last year drew more than 1,000 teachers and school and district leaders from 37 states and 26 countries, offers inspiring speakers, engaging workshops, and dedicated time for networking. PBLWorks is presenting the conference online for the second year in a row in order to support teachers and administrators who can’t travel or who prefer to attend virtually due to the pandemic.

This year’s theme “Racial Equity at the Center” highlights the power of Project Based Learning to advance educational equity for all students — especially Black and Brown students. Keynoters will bring their perspectives on how participants can put equity at the center of their work. And during workshops, attendees will consider educational equity in their classrooms and their projects.

“The pandemic has caused everyone to rethink how we educate our students and prepare them for the future,” said Bob Lenz, CEO of PBLWorks. “PBL World is a perfect opportunity for teachers and administrators to learn how to use Project Based Learning to support racial equity in education, engage students in the content, and keep them excited about learning, whether they are in the classroom or doing remote learning.”

PBL World offers a menu of three-day workshops led by PBLWorks National Faculty members.
