See PBL used as a way to help students with real-life applications through the possibility of an Academy.

Realistically, I see cross-curricular and community involvement.

I'd like to see students use English class as a way to hone their writing skills while using another subject for content and subject matter.  There are numerous opportunities for students to focus on a science or social studies topic (for example) and use that class for material while learning about the mechanics of good writing in English. It would be nice to see more cross-curricular opportunities available to students.

The biggest challenges I see are time (trying to add a PBL component while also hitting our individual content standards) as well as getting interdepartmental buy-in. It would be hard to implement a PBL project that is cross-curricular in nature if only one or two departments are on board.

We would need buy-in from teachers in multiple departments, time in our scheduled class activities to incorporate new projects, and support from guidance and administration.

At this point, I'm open to various thoughts & ideas.  I have done larger "projects" but never a full blown PBL unit. Honestly, I need to learn more

The biggest challenge I have seen when using PBL in my classroom for the past 4 years are as follows:

1.  Equal work
a.  Students want work to be divided fairly.  One way I have overcome this is by assigning "roles" to each group member with specific definitions of responsbilities for each role.
b.  Another way is by having students evaluate each other at the end of each project, assessing how much each member contributed during the project process.  This assures that students who work harder or more receive more credit and a better "grade."

2.  The other challenge has been keeping students on task.
All students work at different paces, so some students finish before others.
a.  One way I have curtailed this some is by having checkpoint lists.  Each student must check in on certain dates with completion of certain responsibilities and tasks.
b. The other way is to always find something to help challenge students to create an even better product than they already have created.

I'm good to go.  The only real challenge I envision may be student/parent buy-in.

Cross-curricular involvement where classes are either combined, or students are in the same classes eg. same ENG and same SOCIAL STUDIES class so cross curricular learning can occur.

PBL is a connection between what students are learning and why it's important to learn it.  It answers the question, "why do we need to learn this?"
