Project-Based Learning

Implementing project-based learning can lead students to investigate historical movements.

This period of remote teaching is a good time to start using project-based learning, which encourages authentic work and creativity.

This challenging time provides an opportunity for students to work on real-world problems they see every day.

The open-ended work in project-based learning can help students explore issues that matter to them.

When students engage in PBL, they should gain skills that will help them solve a wide array of problems, not just the problem at hand.

Assignments that are bigger than a lesson and smaller than a unit are a good way to experiment with inquiry-based learning.

In planning project-based learning units, teachers can maximize students’ time together by focusing on collaboration and feedback.

It’s actually a good time for challenging, independent projects. Here are some of the steps you should consider as you prepare your students to get started online.

The National Geographic Society has a five-step PBL model and resource library to foster deep learning whether students are in school or at home.

Students take responsibility for their learning and develop solutions for complex problems when their research paper becomes a PBL unit.

Tips and projects that teachers can share with parents and caregivers to guide children in any grade through project-based learning—with or without technology.

Physics students assume the role of aerospace engineers to explore the real-world problem of how to land a rover on Mars.

Brief daily meetings give students working in groups the structure to hold each other accountable on long-term projects.
