The POGIL National Meeting (PNM) 

The PNM, typically held annually (in even years in St. Louis, and in odd years, virtually), is a working meeting intended to allow active members of the POGIL community to participate in important tasks to further the mission of The POGIL Project and to achieve the goals of The Project's strategic plan.  The PNM provides opportunities for attendees to interact and collaborate with colleagues in a variety of ways and includes a mix of plenary sessions, parallel sessions, poster sessions, and open working time. We welcome all members of the community who want to help The Project achieve its misson of improving teaching and learning by fostering an inclusive, transformative community of reflective educators.

At the 2025 PNM, we will continue to address ways in which The POGIL Project can assist faculty and institutions as they initiate and sustain pedagogical reform.

About the PNM Application

Who Should Apply?

The PNM is a meeting intended for POGIL practitioners to work on projects related to the Strategic Plan goals.  Due to the nature of the meeting, many participants have attended PNMs in the past and continue their work on ongoing projects.  However, The Project values new ideas and fresh perspective and enthusiasticaly welcomes first-time participants.

The typical first-time PNM participant has attended one or more advanced workshops, has implemented POGIL in their classroom for several years, and has some familiarity with the Strategic Plan.  Having attended a National Conference to Advance POGIL Practice (NCAPP) is considered a valuable way to gain a breadth of POGIL exposure that is important at the POGIL National Meeting.
