We want our learners prepared to earn their high school credential and develop employability and life skills, while incorporating CCRS content standards. We can accomplish all this with Problem-Based Learning (PBL). PBL is an approach to learning that will allow learners to learn skills that matter. These skills include critical thinking, problem-solving, processing and analyzing information, adaptability and willingness to learn. Many free, quality PBL resources are available, for use in both online and in-person instruction. Engage in truncated versions of two problems as learners - one from the Mathematics Assessment Project (MAP) and another from Dan Meyer's Three-Act Math Tasks. You will consider the continuum of Problem-Based Learning which begins with clear, packaged problems and reaches to big, messy, real-world problems, differing from other instruction. Together we will look at resources so you can find what you need to support your students' learning.

Audience: ABE, CDP, and GED Teachers
