Project Based Learning is a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging and complex question, problem, or challenge. In Gold Standard PBL, Essential Project Design Elements include:

Key Knowledge, Understanding, and Success Skills - The project is focused on student learning goals, including standards-based content and skills such as critical thinking/problem solving, collaboration, and self-management.

Challenging Problem or Question - The project is framed by a meaningful problem to solve or a question to answer, at the appropriate level of challenge.

Sustained Inquiry - Students engage in a rigorous, extended process of asking questions, finding resources, and applying information.

Authenticity - The project features real-world context, tasks and tools, quality standards, or impact – or speaks to students’ personal concerns, interests, and issues in their lives.

Student Voice & Choice - Students make some decisions about the project, including how they work and what they create.

Reflection - Students and teachers reflect on learning, the effectiveness of their inquiry and project activities, the quality of student work, obstacles and how to overcome them.

Critique & Revision - Students give, receive, and use feedback to improve their process and products.

Public Product -Students make their project work public by explaining, displaying and/or presenting it to people beyond the classroom.

1. Start with an idea or standard

2. Time = Standard

3. Investigative question - drives the project (so what)

4. Lessons are related to skills students need during the project

5. Start out small (5 - 7 days)

6. Use the PBL Foundation form to plan your project

7. Take the things you have always done and re-design the sequence/way of presenting these things to your students

‘Project-based learning’ refers to students designing, planning, and carrying out an extended project that produces a publicly-exhibited output such as a product, publication, or presentation. It is related to inquiry-based learning.

Why now?

digital technology makes it easier than ever before for students to conduct serious research, produce high-quality work, keep a record of the entire process, and share their creations with the world

we now know much more about how to do good, rigorous project- based learning, and we can evaluate its effectiveness.

planning and organizing a project is time-consuming to teachers

teachers worry about covering all the content they are supposed to teach

it is hard to monitor a large group of students engaged in a project to make sure all are contributing (finding out who didn't do it at the final stage is too late)

# data[].attributes.body
student motivation soars because

students are excited about the final product

students are willing to put in a lot of time to produce good quality work

students are engaged in finding answers to their own questions

improves learning because students understand content more deeply and retain the knowledge

students acquire and develop skills they will need for success in school, college, career, and life

students use technology in a meaningful way

teachers work with motivated students

school work relates to real life and connects students with people outside of school or in other parts of the world (http://www.bie.org/about/why_pbl)
