Sustained inquiry
Students engage in a rigorous, extended process of asking questions, finding resources, and applying information.
Authenticity
The project features real-world context, tasks and tools, quality standards, or impact – or speaks to students’ personal concerns, interests, and issues in their lives
Student voice and Choice
The project is framed by a meaningful problem to solve or a question to answer, at the appropriate level of challenge.
Reflection
Students and teachers reflect on learning, the effectiveness of their inquiry and project activities, the quality of student work, obstacles and how to overcome them.
Critique & revision
Students give, receive, and use feedback to improve their process and products.
Public product
Students display their projects in some sort of public presentation manner.
Challenging problem or question
The problem or questions should challenge the students but not intimidate. Choose or create a real world example that students can relate to.
What is

Project-Based Learning is a teaching methodology that combines real-world scenarios with 21st Century Skills to authentically prepare our young people for the world of work, college preparation, and “adulting” in general.
