Professional learning around implementation science in the educational setting is an ongoing, dynamic process that focuses on building the necessary knowledge, skills, and capacities for successful and sustainable implementation of educational initiatives. Grounded in the NIRN (National Implementation Research Network) implementation science model, this professional learning begins with building the leadership teams’ capacity to understand and apply key concepts such as implementation drivers, fidelity of implementation, and sustainability. Leaders and educators engage in targeted professional development to deepen their understanding of the core components of effective implementation, including the role of staff competencies, organizational supports, and data systems for monitoring progress. 

This one-day workshop equips educators to design sustained project-based learning experiences that connect classroom instruction to the real world of work and Iowa’s updated definition of Work-Based Learning. Participants will learn how to align authentic PBL projects with content standards and WBL requirements while transforming an existing lesson or unit into a meaningful, student-centered learning experience.
