A Bite of BOB: Lunch and Learn

Duration:   Single or multiple 20 minute talks

Description: Teachers have limited learning time during the day. This virtual mini-workshop provides a snapshot of the BOB approach or introduces specific BOB projects one at a time. 

This workshop provides a Building Outside the Blocks toolkit to help teachers  tweak or create a BOB project to meet their teaching needs. With a specific subject area or focus in mind, participants will look deeply at specific project ideas and backwards design them  from explicit instruction to student ownership.  

These workshops aim to reach beyond the classroom and into the school community at large.
