In our summer Quality Project-Based Learning workshops presented in Bangor and Portland, Maine participants planned high quality project-based learning and learned strategies to support students’ success. Join us next summer for Quality Project-Based Learning workshops open to all educators. Or during the school year at your site – for Capacity-Building Peer Coaching and Project-Based Learning!
Here are some project-based learning preliminary plans from our Summer ’18 participants and participants’ comments!
“Lee Anna provided us with many instructional tools that immersed us in the project-based learning experience…It was helpful to walk step-by-step through the process of project-based learning and come out with a well developed plan to implement in the classroom. I enjoyed the level of collaboration and discussion. Thank you! 🙂” – Mary Dionne, Middle School Math and Science, St. Michael School, Augusta, Maine
“The workshop provided a collaborative step-by-step approach to project-based learning. Lee Anna was very kind and
shared a wealth of information. I was able to come up with a great challenge question and received so much feedback from the group in planning. Also Day 3 was full of strategies. Loved it! Thank you.”

“Dr. Stirling provided a safe and supportive climate. She was understanding and patient and modeled many implementation steps of Quality Project-Based Learning. She facilitated conversations with different groups keeping them on track with suggestions and feedback. Dr. Stirling was positive and helpful to all members of the group. Gentle, open-ended questions would lead participants to deepening understandings. Thanks so much.”
