At Our Own Backdoor Workshop Stewart/Houston

At Our Own Backdoor Workshop Stewart/Houston

June 3-7, 2013 

APSU in partnership with Stewart and Houston Public School systems will offer a workshop to teachers of grades 5-8.

The goal of Problem Based Learning (PBL) instruction is to help teachers improve student achievement through rigorous, authentic projects that address academic standards as well as the development of 21st century skills. The most effective PBL instruction is based in the real world, addressing problems that the local community actually experiences. This workshop for teachers of grades 5 - 8 will demonstrate PBL instruction and strengthen the classroom community bonds by visiting local sites and resources.  Teachers will be given time to write effective problem-based units that reflect local issues or problems.

Stewart County Middle School, 723 Spring Street, Dover, TN 37058

A $500.00 stipend will be awarded to Stewart and Houston County teachers who complete the workshop.
