What the Health is PCBL???

BREAKOUT DESCRIPTION:

 If you're wondering "what is PCBL?", then you might also be thinking "How do we develop Mastery, Autonomy and Purpose in our students today so they will meet the competencies and expectations set forth in Utah's Portrait of A Graduate? "  And even if you aren’t,  you really like this session because we will have fun examining the PCBL Framework to identify the mechanisms for creating a learner-centered educational system that supports learner agency, demonstrated competency and assessment, customized supports, social and emotional wellness, and a culture of learning.
