Although PBLs do take a tremendous amount of planning time from the onset, I generally notice it is much easier for me to differentiate instruction to meet the needs of all my students from the special needs student to the gifted child. My students know what the learning objectives are and most often different collaborative groups are reaching the objectives by going down a different road. PBL definitely takes a lot of time on my part, but the students are better off for it.
