The PBCL Coaching Summit is about to get underway at Nashville State Community College, in Nashville TN. The summit will include distinguished guests from CA, TX, NE, VA, WA, IA, and TN. All are PBCL practitioners. The goals of the summit are two-fold:
- to equip these “coaches” to represent PBCL as a teaching/learning process in their home institutions and other areas of influence/opportunity; and
- to use the website as the framework for designing and developing PBCL experiences within their various disciplines while connecting to local business partners. We have the Moodle site to support the PBCL community http://www.makinglearningreal.org/moodle/
The summit runs from August 10-12. Keep watching this blog for updates on the ideas and suggestions that came out of the summit and for new and improved tools.

Hello PBCL team - Ted, Dale, Jack, Kevin and Skip.
Travel plans are underway for our trip to Scottsbluff NE for the D&D Institute on June 4 and 5, 2009. We need to arrive sometime on Wednesday, June 3rd. I will be there early in the morning. If we all arrive early enough we might be able to meet with some of the faculty at Western Nebraska CC. The Institute will be all day on the 4th and 5th. We will be able to meet for a debriefing with Erika Volker, the NE PBCL facilitator, on Friday evening. We have no scheduled plans for Saturday so we can fly out as earlier as possible in the morning.
It will be great to work together at this event. Remember you are participants. So bring your ideas and information about the PBCL experience you want to develop. By the end of the day on Friday you will have a PBCL module to pilot in your courses. We’ll have fun, too! My travel information is shown below.
All the best,
Ruth
