Join us as we deconstruct elementary construction projects and unpack the routines and benchmarks needed to design a deeper learning experience for and with students. We are thrilled to welcome Jeff Govoni, 5th grade educator at High Tech Elementary, who will unpack his design methodologies for building projects.
Project Unpackings are an in-depth exploration of structures used to design for deeper learning. Each session is facilitated by a HTH educator and focuses on one or more of the PBL Essentials. This is an interactive workshop in which participants are asked to design, discuss, and reflect. Project Unpackings welcome new and experienced educators.
