Instructional Strategy of the Week
Project/Problem-Based Learning (PBL)
Using project- or problem-based learning, students gain knowledge and skills through working to investigate and respond to an authentic and complex question, problem, or challenge. The project takes place over an extended period of time, with content and instruction integrated into the project. Projects involve a real-world context and are driven by student inquiry.
For more information on PBL, watch this introduction to PBL from Common Sense Media.
