Leadership Jumpstart
Workshop Description
Designed for school and district leaders (principals, assistant principals, deans, department heads, grade level leaders, and others responsible for instructional coaching) to learn how to prepare and support teachers who engage in PBL 101 to more effectively implement Gold Standard PBL in their classrooms.
The sessions are to be scheduled in conjunction with PBL 101.The Leadership Jumpstart consists of two 90-minute coaching sessions for leaders.
The first coaching session should be held 3-6 weeks prior to the PBL 101. In this session, participants calibrate on their why and expectations for PBL and learn how to ensure a successful 101 experience.
The second session should be held 2-4 weeks after the PBL 101. In this session, participants will reflect on the 101 experience and gain an introduction as to how to build the culture and capacity for PBL in their school in service of teacher project implementation.
What to Expect
Plan for a highly interactive experience! Participants will use Zoom to connect with the facilitator and each other. The sessions include whole group work, small group activities, reflection, and individual learning (with some voice and choice). Each session is 90 minutes long.
