Here’s a unique Project-Based Learning webinar by two highly-respected educators.
I once worked on a small project with Jay McTighe, and I corresponded with Carol Ann Tomlinson back when I was working on my doctorate, and I found them both to be wonderful people.

The link above will take you directly to the webinar (no need to register). However. I’m not sure how long this will be available, so be sure to share it with your teachers right away!
