Project-Based Learning

While it’s true that our students are indeed the future, there are real reasons why we need to remember that they are also a big part of our today.

As the name implies, project-based learning is simply learning through projects. What is being learned should inform and dictate the design of the project.

The shift from being asked for answers to being asked for questions can be powerful in building a powerful learning environment.

What is the step-by-step process for effective teaching through project-based learning in your classroom? Like all good teaching, it starts with students.

In this project, some serious questions were raised--above all "How can we help and where do we begin?"

Differentiation in project-based learning can be supported through the use of protocols and intentional assessment practice.

In PBL, the focus is not on projects but rather the process of learning through those projects.

Project-based learning can benefit from planning ahead--clarity in what students are actually doing and why.
