Project Based Learning Expert, Trevor Muir
Trevor is a teacher, author, and speaker. He is the author of the Project Based Learning books The Epic Classroom and The Collaborative Classroom. From leading PBL in his own middle school, high school, and college classrooms, to working with thousands of educators from diverse backgrounds, Trevor has learned that one of the greatest motivators for strong student work and deeper learning is giving that learning purpose. When students know that their work is making a difference, engagement increases and lives transform. He also has learned that the same applies for the teacher, and leading Project Based Learning makes the work of the educator more purposeful as well.

PBL Crash Course
The half day (3 hour) workshop serves as a foundation for Project-Based Learning. Participants leave understanding the value of PBL in their specific content & subject area, the basics of project planning and project management, as well as the confidence to explore further.
*This workshop serves as a great conference option or introduction session for school staff.
One-Day Immersion
The goal of the One-Day Immersion workshop is for teachers to leave feeling inspired, empowered, and equipped to plan and execute projects in their own classrooms. Along with the understanding of why PBL has a place in their classrooms, participants will begin planning their own projects based on standards from their specific grade level and content areas.
PBL Intensive
Building upon the 1 Day, educators will learn about project management and assessment, as well as fully plan a project based learning project. Using the provided tools and resources, participants will collaborate with their peers as well as Trevor to design a complete PBL project. The goal of the 2 Day is for teachers to leave with a fully planned, standards-based project ready for students, as well as confidence to plan further projects outside of the workshop setting..
Coaching & Consulting
Once teachers have a firm grasp on planning, launching, and managing project based learning projects, consulting provides sustained support to deepen PBL practice in the classroom. Trevor meets one-on-one or with small groups of teachers to ensure their success. Consulting is based on the specific needs of teachers, but often includes brainstorming project ideas, creating authentic connections to content standards, & designing authentic assessments.
