Pre-school teachers have a huge responsibility to educate tomorrow’s citizens, but it often feels hard for them to provide children with 360-degree, meaningful learning experiences. How hard does it sometimes feel to create a deep understanding of topics and life competencies?
If you also cope with similar issues, project-based learning (PBL) may interest you. It is an educational approach that involves students working on a project over an extended period to explore and solve real-world problems or questions.
PBL is well recognized as an effective methodology in higher grades of education, but with some adjustments, we can turn it into an invaluable tool for your preschool classroom.
During the course, participants will discover PBL through a variety of inspiring examples, and find out how to incorporate the PBL methodology into their own teaching experience.
Participants will learn which tools are best for preschool students, how to effectively evaluate their learning, and how to be a good mentor in order to promote problem-solving, critical thinking, autonomy, collaboration, and other 21st-century skills.
Practical strategies and tools will be available for you to nurture children’s key competencies, such as literacy, numeracy, sequences, cause and effect, sizes, and comparisons, and you will be ready to use a working PBL model you’ll have shaped for your own students!
Finally, the course will explain how to plan a successful, manageable PBL activity.
By the end of the course, you’ll have realized how PBL can provide you with great solutions to design fruitful learning experiences, that encourage your young learners to take action on relevant issues for them and you’ll have gained the confidence and enthusiasm that is necessary to exploit the opportunities it offers.
