PBL Workshops for Schools & Districts


FULFILLing your PBL VISION is WITHIN your reach!

Magnify Learning partners with schools and districts across the country to provide PROJECT BASED LEARNING WORKSHOPS for SCHOOLS & DISTRICTS where you and your staff learn the Project Based Learning (PBL) framework, clearly identify student learning outcomes, and learn to use PBL structures to help achieve those outcomes. PBL Workshops provide the foundation for creating and implementing standards-based PBL Units. PBL Coaching provides continued support and modeling from a PBL Certified Coach throughout the school year for you and your staff.

Schedule a PBL Workshop now and begin achieving your goals for student success!


“Project Based Learning is a very different educational experience than what I expected. Most of the projects that I worked with in elementary school usually only took about a week and had no impact on the people around me... I used to question myself, asking myself what value I had in this world. I knew that I had value, but I had no idea what that value could be. PBL has given me a sense of purpose because the projects that you undertake have a direct effect on your friends and sometimes even your community...
— Caleb A., High School Student, Columbus Signature Academy New Tech

  • Each participant DEVELOPs A PBL UNIT

    • Participants gain a comprehensive understanding of the PBL process as well as the nuts and bolts of Project Based Learning.

    • Every participant leaves with a standards-based PBL Unit ready to implement and the processes/structures to create future projects.

  • CULTURE BUILDING

    • The workshop creates team building time for your staff through the use of protocols and intentional collaboration time.

    • We create a foundation for building a shared culture by providing you and your staff with a common understanding of the Project Based Learning framework and vocabulary.

  • FACE-TO-FACE INTERACTION WITH PBL CERTIFIED TRAINERS

    • Each participant receives training, feedback, and insight from PBL Certified Trainers who have experience teaching Project Based Learning in their own classrooms.

  • PROTOCOLS

    • We model and equip each participant with protocols for team and culture building that can be used among adults and in classrooms.

  • PBL ExpO

    • Participants take part in the culminating event of a PBL Expo, where they have an opportunity to present their work by sharing their PBL Units with colleagues, administrators, and community members.

    • This event is also an opportunity to receive feedback to improve their PBL Unit before implementing it in the classroom.



After the Workshop:

  • Alignment around your vision

    • Each participant leaves the PBL training with clarity around your school vision and tangible next steps for fulfilling it.

    • You’ll be taken through a process that helps create a shift in mindset, which ultimately brings you and your staff closer to achieving your vision for your school.

  • CUSTOMIZATION

    • We customize the work around what’s already working for you, which creates buy-in among staff and long-term sustainability.

    • We come alongside you to highlight the work you’re doing well and help you in the areas you want to grow.

    • The work you’re doing is in your school, within your culture, using your language, so you don’t need to translate what you’re doing. It’s an extension of your existing work.

    • Your staff won’t feel like PBL is an “add-on.” We partner with you to ensure a seamless fit with what you are already doing.

  • AUTHENTIC LEARNING

    • As a school district adopts Project Based Learning across K-12, there is an increased understanding and vertical articulation of the long-term impact of using skills and content to solve authentic, real world problems as well as the importance of developing employability skills.

  • COMMUNITY IMPACT

    • Not only does this positively impact the schools and overall district, but it also has the opportunity to have an ongoing impact on the community through the creation of long-term community partners.

  • PBL COMMUNITY

    • Each participant becomes connected to a community of like-minded educators whom they can go to for support.

long-term success comes with long-term commitment

PBL Workshops are an important first step in making an educational culture shift. Our research shows that the schools with the most effective, long-term success are those that complete a three year PBL training process including PBL Coaching, ongoing PBL workshop training, and a pathway to becoming a PBL Model School.




”The support for us has been amazing! Many questions come up and knowing that we can call or email and get a quick response has been tremendous for us.”
