Advanced 2D Portfolio Driven Courses
3 PD Hours
1 Create a student-centered studio culture focused on the creative process, intentional decision-making, and celebration of student voice.

Join Matt Milkowski as he helps unpack and demystify the planning process for portfolio-based courses. In this PRO Pack, Matt will share how to provide focus to your course goals, build your classroom community, foster the growth of essential skills, and support students throughout their sustained investigation.
