Professional Development
PFI has developed a partnership with the Applied Information Management (AIM) Institute to deliver Problem Based, Case Based Learning (PBCL) professional development to community college and high school faculty. PBCL marries business, industry and the community with classroom standards and objectives. Faculty, participate in teams of academic and career educators, secure a relationship with a local business, identify an unsolved problem and design a learning environment which provide students the opportunity to solve the problem. PBCL integrates the use of technology and 21st Century Skills while providing “real world” work experience in a classroom.
Trainings, provided free-of-charge to PFI member schools, are offered in the following sequence:
- Three hour orientation to Problem Based, Case Based Learning
- Two-and-one-half day Design and Development Institute
- Six month online mentoring, conducted by current PBCL faculty
- Half-Day Reflective Session
