What is PBL?
Learning With A Purpose
The unknowable path
...might also be the right one.
The fact that your path is unknowable may be
precisely why it's the right path.
The alternative, which is following the well-lit path,
offers little in the way of magic.
If you choose to make art, you are no longer
following. You are making.
How Do We Start?
Let’s Project Tune!
PBL Components
● 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.
