Project based Learning (PBL) is gaining renewed attention with the current focus on college and career readiness and the performance-based emphases of Common Core Standards, but only high-quality versions can deliver the beneficial outcomes that schools want for their students. It's not enough to just "do projects."
Today's projects need to be rigorous, engaging, and in-depth, and they need to have student voice and choice built in. Such projects require careful planning and pedagogical skill. The authors – leaders at the respected Buck Institute for Education – take readers through the step-by-step process of how to create, implement, and assess PBL using a classroom-tested framework.
