ARIE PBL academies are going on the road! We'll be bringing project based learning and methodology to engage as well as excite teachers and administration alike.  

This three day event will start from ground zero and prepare any teacher to become PBL ready for the classroom.

DAY ONE

Participants are launched into the world of Project Based Learning (PBL), reviewing evidence of the model’s success and the need for its successful implementation in a 21st Century classroom. Project ideation and standards- centered rubrics are covered in detail, providing the foundation for the participants’ personal projects that will be constructed over the next three days.

DAY TWO

Successful projects actively engage students with research and project workdays. Today, participants discover how to scaffold these activities and learn how to incorporate both traditional and nontraditional assessments to determine student mastery of concepts and skills to close the achievement gap. Participants will also explore how to engage students with Entry Events, the hook that first introduces a project to a new audience.

DAY THREE

Today, participants acquire tools to successfully run collaborative student groups and manage projects through completion. Participants then share their personally created projects to a panel of peers and experts for constructive feedback, learning the expectations for students presentations. A final, meaningful reflection then provides next steps to successfully implement the created projects upon return to the participant’s home campus.

You will need to bring any technology you wish to use for the training. A tablet or laptop is strongly advised for this training as you will be creating your first project as you progress through the three days. A continental breakfast and lunch will be served each day.

Austin, Texas,
The vibrant city known for its eclectic culture, live music scene, and mouthwatering cuisine! Whether you're a foodie, music lover, outdoor enthusiast, or art aficionado, Austin has something for everyone. 
Explore the lively streets of South Congress (SoCo), where you can shop for unique vintage finds, sample delicious street food, and marvel at the stunning views of the State Capitol building. Don't forget to strike a pose in front of the iconic "I love you so much" mural for the perfect Instagram photo.
For music enthusiasts, Austin is the live music capital of the world. Visit legendary venues like Stubb's BBQ, ACL Live at the Moody Theater, or the Continental Club to catch local and international talent. Every March, the city comes alive during the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival, a celebration of music, film, and interactive media.
Outdoor lovers will be in paradise with the abundance of natural attractions. Take a dip in the clear waters of Barton Springs Pool, a natural spring-fed pool nestled within Zilker Park. Enjoy hiking, biking, and kayaking along the beautiful Lady Bird Lake or venture a bit further to explore the breathtaking trails of the Barton Creek Greenbelt.
Indulge your taste buds in Austin's diverse culinary scene. From food trucks to fine dining, the city is a haven for food lovers. Dive into Texas-style barbecue at Franklin Barbecue or Terry Black's BBQ, and satisfy your taco cravings at Torchy's Tacos or Veracruz All Natural. Don't miss the chance to cool off with a refreshing craft beer from one of Austin's many local breweries.
Art enthusiasts will be captivated by the vibrant art galleries and museums sprinkled throughout the city. Immerse yourself in contemporary art at the Blanton Museum of Art or explore the innovative exhibits at The Contemporary Austin. For a taste of history, visit the Bullock Texas State History Museum and delve into the rich heritage of the Lone Star State.
Whether you're strolling along the bustling streets, savoring mouthwatering cuisine, or tapping your feet to live music, Austin is a city that embraces fun and creativity at every turn. Come for the academy and stay to experience the unique blend of Southern charm and urban energy that makes Austin a must-visit destination for travelers from around the world.

A multi day event where educators and administrators learn how to bring project based learning to their classroom, school, district or state through project based learning. This is not a sit and get, you will have one or more projects ready to use when you return to your institution. Be ready to be challenged and be ready to engage your students in a way that builds lasting results.
