Â鶹¹û¶³ will host a workshop on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) for K-12 teachers Saturday (OCT. 28), 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. in the Orlean Bullard Beeson School of Education and Professional Studies building on campus.

PBL provides a structure for discovery that helps students internalize learning, leading to greater comprehension. The teaching technique organizes a curriculum around an engaging problem and creates a learning environment that promotes student thinking and deepens understanding.

Registration fee is $50. For information, phone Dr. Carol Dean at 726-2396 or email cddean@samford.edu.

The K-12 workshop coincides with an international PBL conference co-sponsored by Â鶹¹û¶³ and The Pew Charitable Trusts in Birmingham Oct. 29-31.
