Project-Based Learning at CCE
The CCE is a partner in campus efforts to support Project-Based Learning as a high-impact pedagogy. The CCE is launching a pilot in J-Term 2021 to train and support a cohort of teaching assistants (TAs) who will work with faculty to implement quality community-connected project based learning (CCPBL) courses. Trained TAs will expand the feasibility and sustainability of CCPBL for faculty, and allow more Middlebury College students to experience the impactful pedagogy. If you are interested in participating in this pilot contact Kailee Brickner-McDonald at kbricknermcdonald@middlebury.edu.
