Learning and Thinking That Make a Difference
A One-Day Regional PZ Conference
How can learning and thinking differently can truly make a difference in our lives? Join fellow Pre-K-12 educators for hands-on days of exploration in Jersey City and Pittsburgh!
Each one-day conference features:
- A keynote address by a leading PZ researcher
- Small, interactive workshops designed and facilitated by educators with experience using and adapting PZ research and frameworks in their classrooms, schools, and organizations
- Tools and strategies for engaging diverse groups of students in compelling and powerful learning experiences that will help to prepare students for success in an increasingly complex world
Whether you're a classroom teacher, administrator, out-of-school educator, or simply curious about education, this one-day conference is a great opportunity to take a step back from your practice—to step into PZ ideas!

Can't make the fall event? Join our spring day of learning, organized by Northgate School District and now in its fourth year.
Founder and executive director of the Pittsburgh Teaching and Learning Collaborative, Jeff Evancho attended his first Project Zero Classroom—PZ's annual institute—over a decade ago. He returned to Pittsburgh buzzing with ideas and inspiration, calling PZC the chicken soup for his soul. Jeff was so catalyzed by the learning, culture, and community he experienced in Cambridge that he decided to create his own PZ hub for his school district. He and his colleagues built an ecosystem of friend groups, after-school programs, and, eventually, a conference. Now in its fourth year, Learning and Thinking That Make a Difference has welcomed hundreds of educators, school leaders, museum teachers, and more. Jeff says, "Good teaching and learning has compound interest."
