Project Based Learning is a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to a complex question, problem, or challenge.
What is Project Based Learning?
● Addresses the Common Core standards which emphasize real-world application of knowledge and skills, and the development of the 21st century competencies ○ Students are active participants○ Deeper understanding of content○ Students take responsibility and build confidence, solve
problems, work collaboratively, communicate ideas, and are creative innovators
Why PBL?
Essential Elements of PBL include:● Significant Content● 21st century competencies ● In-Depth Inquiry● Driving Question● Need to Know● Voice and Choice● Critique and Revision● Public Audience

STEM v. STEAM
“As STEAM focuses on integration of content, pairing STEAM with PBL can hit not only STEAM content, but also content outside of the core STEAM subjects. English can be integrated, as well as foreign languages and social studies. It's all about designing effective PBL that targets these content areas... these two approaches can capitalize on each other's strengths and fill each other's potential gaps.”
From Andrew Miller’s PBL and STEAM Education: A Natural Fit
