Project Based Learning in the German Classroom
October 28-30, 2016
Project Based Learning promotes creativity, critical thinking, self-direction, and teamwork to create solutions to real world issues or problems. It also offers the opportunity to integrate different subjects. Through PBL, students will become more engaged with the subject content.
The advanced training will focus on:

- How different disciplines can work together
- How to integrate technology, i.e. the flipped classroom
- Various teaching methods
- Developing a project
The Goethe-Institut provides accomodations in double rooms in Chicago and travel expenses up to a maximum of $450 to/from Chicago.
