of their learningBecause learning is a journey, not just a
report cardBecause relevance and purpose
mattersBecause we live in a global community
where challenges exist everywhere, and we must work together to solve them

Challenge Formation
11
The big idea is a broad concept that can be explored in multiple ways, is engaging, and has importance to students and the larger society. Examples of big ideas are Identity, Sustainability, Creativity, Violence, Peace, and Power.
12
By design, the big idea allows for the generation of a wide variety of essential questions that reflect the interests of the students and the needs of their community. Each group will narrow their thoughts to one essential question.
13
From each essential question a challenge is articulated that asks students to create a specific solution that can result in concrete, meaningful action in their home, schools and/or community.
Transform apathy into engagement
Increase recycling in your community
Make your town more energy efficient
Increase the percentage of students in your class who stay in school for one more year.

Each challenge is stated broadly enough to allow for a variety of solutions. Each solution should be thoughtful, concrete, actionable, clearly articulated, and documented in a short video.
Reflection

The teams gauge the success of their solution during the implementation process. They identify the causes of their success and/or failure and determine changes that could be made to improve the solution.

“I love teaching this way: Challenge students in a meaningful way. Demand results. Facilitate failure en route to success. Foster a classroom environment where collaboration, communication, and risk-taking are highly valued. Connect to content. Get out of the way of the learning.”

Prepare teachers by introducing them to challenge based learning in a professional development or workshop setting
40
Frame the challenge in ways that deeply involve the students, and make it real.
41
Allow time. Teachers need planning and preparation time; students need enough time to complete a meaningful solution
42
Ensure students have the opportunity to act on their solutions
43
Form workgroups with an eye toward the realities of group dynamics
44
Build 21st Century Skills into the project right from the start
