High Aims Consortium is sponsoring a three-day workshop on Problem-Based Learning and Advanced PBL. The content for the combined courses will be researched–based.

The class activities will be led by trained practitioners who utilize PBL in their own classrooms. In addition, between and immediately following sessions, practitioners will benefit from participation in an on-line professional dialogue room of support, exclusive to class members.

By spreading their learning over the course of several months along with online support, workshop participants have a chance to try out their new skills and have challenges addressed before the next class session.

Those who participate all three days will have the opportunity to receive 3 credits from Ashland University for a combination of class and online experiences.

A series of three professional dialogue opportunities for superintendents, district office leaders and building leaders.  The series will feature business, government, university and pre-12 leaders in trending conversations and topics followed by a chance to sit down, share ideas and network with leaders among the High AIMS districts.

To kick off the series, High AIMS is pleased to welcome David Devier, Mary Stagaman, Vincent Nelson, Bill Seitz, and Deb Terhar as we probe into the topic of Career and College Readiness and how district leadership and instruction need to transform to meet the needs of our students.
