  • 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)

    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.

  • Investigative question - drives the project (so what)
  • Lessons are related to skills students need during the project
  • Start out small (5 - 7 days)
  • Use the PBL Foundation form to plan your project
  • Take the things you have always done and re-design the sequence/way of presenting these things to your students

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.
