Welcome to PBI!

My goal is to help students obtain the skills they need to be successful in today's INFORMATION AGE. At this moment in history it is important for middle school students to begin to understand the importance of information in the world around them. Throughout the year students will learn an approach to problem based inquiry that will assist them in choosing topics, setting goals, debating issues, effective research, organization, as well as product development and presentation.
