To help instructors develop mastery in the PBCL approach, the Innovation in Teaching and Learning for Technological Education (ITL) project team has designed professional development and coaching programs.
ITL offers a professional development program that guides the instructor along a path of growth as a PBCL practitioner. Through a sequence of four events, the program encourages the instructor's increasing knowledge and more effective application of PBCL principles and practices.
Instructors who have completed all four of the PBCL professional development events are eligible to become certified as PBCL Coaches. PBCL Coaches act as mentors for instructors learning to use PBCL. PBCL Coaches can also progress to leadership levels that allow them to conduct professional development events.
