Centering On Students: PCBL In Action from Modern Classrooms In Utah

Wednesday July 9, 2025 1:30pm - 2:30pm MDT

The traditional approach to instruction relies on all students in each classroom being at the same place in their learning journey each day. We know this ideal can be practically impossible to achieve. By leveraging innovative planning and facilitation practices that put students at the center of their learning, educators can create opportunities for truly personalized instruction. In this session, educators will share the steps they have taken and the tools they use in order to implement self-paced, mastery-based learning with their students.
