Participants will examine where project-based learning (PBL) can naturally enhance existing curriculum, identify opportunities for meaningful student inquiry and choice, and consider how novels can be used in innovative ways beyond traditional whole-class instruction. Together, teachers will share ideas, adapt units for their unique contexts, and leave with practical strategies for creating learning experiences that deepen literacy, increase engagement, and connect classroom learning to real-world applications.
