Project-Based Learning (PBL)
Project-based learning is a dynamic classroom approach in which students actively explore real-world problems and challenges and acquire a deeper knowledge.
How PBL Taps Into the Science of Learning and Development
A growing body of research shows that project-based learning can have a positive impact on achievement and engagement. Linda Darling-Hammond describes how a rigorous project-based approach fits in with what we know works for students.1.5kMaking Project-Based Learning Inclusive in a Hybrid Setting
It’s not easy to help students feel connected when everyone isn’t in the same room, but these science teachers found a way to make it work.461A Schoolwide Exhibition Builds Excitement for Project-Based Learning
