UAA PACE, 500-Level Upper Division Course

Graded

COURSE OVERVIEW

In this course you will learn the Project Based Learning (PBL) Lesson Cycle and how to implement inquiry into cross- curricular projects that are aligned to specific objectives. Throughout the course, you will design your own cycle of PBL that can be immediately implemented into your own classroom. The course guides you through the development process with step- by - step implementation using templates, tools, and resources designed to effectively implement PBL into your current or future classroom. Then, after you have fully developed a complete PBL plan, you will explore the strategies involved in planning and executing individual inquiry- based lessons throughout the PBL lesson cycle.

Grade Level: K-12
