Synergy
Our goal is to harness innate creativity to help teachers design work that is engaging and empowering in ways that cross curricular boundaries. Whether project-based or stand alone, the lessons we help teachers create open pathways for the humanities and the sciences to blend seamlessly into meaningful learning experiences.
Rubrics are the foundation for the deep thinking and learning that occur during the PBL process. They are more than just a piece of paper used to assess products at the end of a project. They are time management tools. They are feedback and revision tools. They are tools for self-evaluation, peer evaluation, and deeper learning. And they are based on the required standards for knowledge.

In this one-day workshop, teachers are engaged in unpacking their standards to get to the heart of what students need to know. Once revealed, the core need-to-knows will be woven into a rubric that both teachers and students can use to track progress toward learning goals.
