About Us
Out of the Gate: Preparing Preservice Teachers to Use PBL Through PBL (Out of the Gate) explores and examines the use of PBL by teacher education program (TEP) faculty to prepare preservice teachers to teach PBL “out of the gate,” so they enter K-12 public school districts ready to engage all students, including those furthest from opportunity, in meaningful deeper learning. This project is generously funded by ECMC Foundation (ECMCF) and led by the Buck Institute for Education (BIE).
HOW DOES OUT OF THE GATE WORK?
Each year a group of preservice teachers, their cooperating teachers, and teacher education program faculty participate in a series of workshops to develop and hone their skills to design and implement high quality PBL.
This progression of learning in PBL starts before the student teacher semester begins with the opportunity to experience PBL as a student in a Project Slice and culminates at the end of the semester with all participants, not just student teachers, sharing their own learning with each other and the community at the PBL Symposium.
