Problem Based Learning Institutes

Learn Something New, Somewhere New

Who says professional learning can’t feel like an adventure?

This season, come play with purpose at MindSpark Learning’s Problem-Based Learning Institutes: a 3-day experience designed to level up your teaching while you soak up the sights.

From buzzing cityscapes to the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, we’re taking PD on the road. You’ll dive into our powerful PBL methodology and STEM framework, built to blend academic standards with real-world problem-solving that sparks curiosity and student voice.

You’ll learn how to co-create interdisciplinary learning experiences that are bold, community-connected, and fun to teach.

Want a little extra spark? Select locations include a bonus half-day of personalized coaching for just $50 — because your growth deserves the same thoughtfulness you give your students.

MindSpark Facilitator Trainings

Run Smarter Trainings. Lead Better Conversations. Get Real Results.

If you lead meetings, trainings, onboarding, or team initiatives, this one-day training is for you.

Facilitation is the opportunity to shape experience, grow clarity, and create biases towards action.

Learn to elevate moments that enhance your team's ability to lean in, unite, and co-create.

Why This Matters

Bad meetings aren’t just annoying - they’re expensive, drain time, and slow momentum. Companies lose up to $25,000 per employee per year due to ineffective meetings, and 71% of meetings are considered unproductive by the people in them. This training tackles these problems head-on. You’ll learn how to lead sessions that save time, drive results, and make every minute count.

What You’ll Learn

How to structure content that’s clear, compelling, and actionable.

How to ask better questions that spark thinking and discussion.

How to use voice, presence, and movement to keep people engaged.
