Loni was (and always will be) a teacher.
Loni started her career in education teaching at a traditional school in San Diego, California. She became a project-based learning 'convert' when she started attending night school in Leadership at the High Tech High Graduate School of Education. She began to try (with little success) to do projects in her own class. Loni could see very clearly that her students needed real-world projects desperately but would probably never have access to this type of learning.
Loni left her school to teach at High Tech High, knowing one day her mission would be to bring project-based learning to students who needed it the most; the ones who were in traditional schools.
Since 2014, Loni has been working with schools around the world to re-imagine education. Her project-based learning expertise has been used in several international initiatives, including REAL-Projects (Innovation Unit, United Kingdom) and LEAPS (Kata Foundation, Denmark). In 2019 she founded Imagine If.

  11:10 - 12:30 Slow-Cooked PBL (English only)
  
  PBL-metoder
  
  How do we ensure rich academic learning in long interdisciplinary projects?
  Great meals require time... to prepare, to simmer, to sit and to savour. Join us as we move from fast-cooked projects lasting a few weeks, to slow-cooked PBL where subjects blend together, learning runs deep and the flavour cannot be beat!
  In this workshop, we will explore examples of projects that have integrated multiple subjects over a long period of time and led to rigorous and meaningful learning for students. We will start by unpacking the planning process and how to anticipate learning objectives (academic and skills) over multiple subjects. Next, we will look at specific examples of how to structure long projects by scheduling smaller deadlines, mini-challenges and various phases that naturally flow with PBL. Finally, you will get some tips for sustaining deep learning over several months... and some things we’ve tried that haven’t worked so well.
  
  13:25 - 14:45 Formative and summative evaluation (assessment?) (English only)
  
  PBL-metoder
  
  What does assessment look like in Project Based Learning?
  Who is at the centre of assessment? In project-based learning we have the opportunity to uses assessment and learning goals as a tool to engage students even more deeply in their learning.
  In this workshop participants will explore student centred assessment – an approach to assessment that emphasises the importance of actively engaging students in the understanding, setting, and reflecting on their progress towards learning goals. Starting with specific learning goals we will examine how those learning goals can be assessed, both formatively and summatively, throughout the project. This will include using the product itself as a way to assess learning as well as various forms of feedback, student portfolios of work and other assessment techniques well suited and tested in project based learning environments.
