Dr. David Reese,Chief Academic Officer for Defined Learning, author, and presenter on project-based learning will conduct a pre-conference workshop titled PBL: Creating Future Ready Students through Problems, Projects, and Processes. Participants will use the Understanding by Design GRASP template to create content-focused experiences and an instructional process that will engage students, and personalize the learning experience around real world issues and challenges. As in the past, once again in 2020 the conference will provide many opportunities for participants to network to discuss partnering and project opportunities. The annual conference is designed to address an area of education that has grown in importance and opportunity – partnerships between and among higher education and K-12 education. It also addresses educational topics that cut across all levels of education with an emphasis on how emerging technologies can foster partnerships.
