PBL conference overview

This one-day conference is designed for teachers and other educational professionals interested in learning about Project-Based Learning (PBL) and in sharing their PBL work! We hope that you'll come to learn, share, and create a network of strong PBL teachers and community members.

The 2012 PBL Conference is being offered with support from the New Tech Network. Since 2005, the New Tech Network has partnered with the North Carolina New Schools Project to co-design and co-construct high quality project based, technology-rich schools in North Carolina. In 2010, our organizations combined these headline events so that students and teachers convened simultaneously to present and to deepen their PBL practice.
