What is PBL?
Project Based Learning (PBL) is a type of learning where students learn skills and knowledge through carrying out a project. It is different to “doing a project” because PBL is like being the chef and bringing everything together and the usual project is like being a waiter, simply bringing knowledge to show someone.
Quality PBL has several key elements:
-Intellectual challenge
-Authentic learning through a sustained or long term inquiry
-Collaboration
-Self-management
-Reflection and revision activities
-A public product is produced
-Student voice and choice
Traditionally a whole class does PBL together. These units have been made with a Montessori class in mind so can be undertaken by a portion of the class. Collaboration and discussion is a necessary part of this unit.
A teaching outline is given along with what activities the students will complete after the lesson.
