Project- and Problem-Based LearningKeys to 21st Century Learning
To learn collaboration, work in teams.
To learn critical thinking, take on complex problems.
To learn oral communication, present.
To learn written communication, write.
To learn technology, use technology.
To develop citizenship, take on civic and global issues.
To learn about careers, do internships.
To learn content, research and do all of the above.
Teachers start each unit by throwing students into a realistic or real-world project that both engages interest and generates a list of things the student need to know. Projects are designed to tackle complex problems, requiring critical thinking. The strategy for 21st Century Learning is simple:
12

Learning in the 21st Century
Each unit begins when students are presented with a complex, standards-based problem
Students form a team, develop a work contract and build a work plan
13

Students get to work!
Students are provided an online briefcase specific to the project with information, resources, links and
assessment criteria that help guide them.

Students Need To Know
Student questions and “need to knows” drive classroom lectures and activities. Sometimes for the whole class … sometime for just
one student
15

feedback from instructors.

Students present ideas through debates, skits, panels, presentations, etc… where their work is evaluated by peers,
teachers, parents, and community

The project drives the curriculum by creating a need for the students to know the content. Students work more autonomously on real or realistic work that has high stakes. Evaluation is made more authentic with performance based measurements and is often conducted with the help of non-teachers.

Getting to Self-direction
PBL instruction is not as linear as traditional instruction. How canwe organize our project materials for student access, action,
self-direction, and project management?
1. Provide students access to project materials
23
