The Mission of the Center is to support and coach higher education institutions and practitioners committed to driving equitable, sustainable, and systemic pedagogical, curricular and cultural reform, through project-based learning (PBL). The Center prepares institutions and educators to offer diverse student bodies multiple, culturally-relevant, project-based learning (PBL) experiences. The Center serves as the hub for PBL in higher education by developing, curating and sharing best practices that advance active, student-centered education for a just, equitable, and inclusive society.
When the Center started, we were unsure what the appetite would be for learning more about project-based learning. We’ve been delighted that so many faculty and institutions have asked us to join them on their PBL journey. This spring we undertook a review of our operations the past 5 years and are happy to share the report with you. We owe thanks to so many of you and look forward to working with many more of you in the future.
