The institute this year will lead you through the six elements of a PBE project so you can implement an awesome experience back at your school. Groundswell is offering this workshop to educators which includes expert facilitation, classroom material give-aways, and provided meals each day for participants (a value of $725 per attendee). Summer institute is offered at no cost to the educator. 

Why should you join us for this workshop?

  • A detailed walk-through of how to implement a PBE experience in your classroom.
  • Attendance provides you with information and eligibility for Groundswell project funds in the 2024-2025 academic year (up to $1,500 for your school). 
  • Make connections with fantastic West Michigan experts who can offer classroom support and guidance with your school project.
