Join PZ for our most popular event of the year: Project Zero Classroom (PZC)! Hosted on the Harvard Graduate School of Education campus, this immersive institute features research-based tools, frameworks, and approaches to instruction and assessment that deepen learning and understanding for all students. Don't miss this unique opportunity to explore ways to enhance student engagement, encourage learners to think critically and creatively, and make learning and thinking visible. Through a combination of presentations, interactive workshops, and small learning groups, you'll have the opportunity to explore ideas and practices with PZ researchers, educators experienced in applying PZ ideas in their contexts, and fellow participants from around the world. 

 

Who Should Attend

  • Early childhood, elementary, middle, and secondary school educators 
  • School administrators and teacher educators 
  • Those in other educator roles, including (but not limited to) artists, teaching artists, museum educators, after-school educators, nonprofit staff members 

Participants may apply as individuals or as groups. Participants are encouraged to attend in teams so they can reflect together during the program and, having had a common set of experiences, continue their learning after the program. PZ encourages schools and organizations of all means to register, and attendance preference will be given to educators working in schools/organizations that have regular, direct access to students. 

The PZC program is highly interactive. Therefore, fluency in English is essential and required.

Background

"After 19 years in education, this was a breath of fresh air. There’s so much I want to think about and do with my curriculum to help make it more engaging and relevant for my students. It was well organized, full of amazing sessions, and thought-provoking leaders!"
