Let   Us 
​ Explain......

Exactly What is PBL??

PBL is short for Project Based Learning!


The goals of PBL are to offer students expansive learning opportunities
through real world problem solving and to provide them hands on opportunities to engage the 21st Century Skills that are critical for them as they become productive and contributing citizens.
​

The projects in PBL  will expose students to future career pathways,
and allow them to work alongside experts as they traverse and
learn through a process oriented endeavor from start to finish.

During this time, they will create, they will reflect, they will refine;
they will encounter bumps in the road, they will figure out how to overcome them…..and they will grow as they move toward a finished product of which they can be very proud!

As teacher facilitator teams, we were charged with the task of creating  
rich, robust and meaningful projects with what PBL deems are the  “gold standards” which are outlined by the Buck Institute for Education.
​

These gold standards encompass essential project design elements
such as the provision of a challenging problem, sustained inquiry,
collaboration, authenticity, student voice and choice, reflection, critique
and revision and finally…..a public product.
