Description: This field-based practicum is designed to provide teacher/practitioners with experience and opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge, skills, and dispositions for implementing PBL into the regular classroom setting. This knowledge is demonstrated through planning for, implementing, and managing standards-based PBL and content instruction using a wide range of resources and technology effectively. The instruction is based on the use and interpretation of performance-based assessment tools and PBL techniques. The teachers will also have an opportunity to provide professional development and build partnership with colleagues. The course will consist of four monthly on-campus seminars and at least two field-based observations of teaching/PBL implementation. All other course procedures will take place in an online format. Credit is given to the Riley Institute and its partner institutions for the development of the endorsement coursework and related materials.
