#MI_PBL - Training Information 2023

A Two Day #MI_PBL Facilitators' Training 2023

Idea of Need for Change:

In a typical teaching-learning setup, when asked "Why are you doing these activities or assignments?", if your students answer:

"Because the teacher told us to."

"Because we're doing a project about ______ (neighborhoods; the American Revolution; patterns; seasons; whatever)."

"If we don't do, our teacher will punish us."

"I don't know."

Then, there is a serious problem in the way, you lead the learning of students.

 

Solution: A Multiple Intelligence Based Project Based Learning #MI_PBL with a Driving Question that clearly states the purpose of the project, gives a focus to all the tasks students do, leads students to an inquiry process, and the the answer is at the heart of the project's culminating products and performances.

WHY: Because, almost all the programs, training, projects, methodologies, technologies, etc. which claim to reform education are of cosmetic nature – they just serve some touch ups!!! The major issue of teaching-learning has remained unchanged – teacher-centered, lecture-based and monotonous.

Because: All the efforts, whether by government, consulting firms, NGOs/INGOs, educational institutions and individuals, are mainly aimed at Reformation of Education but our education seriously needs Urgent Transformation. Through #MI_PBL, we can literally Transform the way to educate our young generation – totally flipped and upside down – experiential, progressive, engaged and deep learning of each unit/lesson within national curricular design and beyond.
