A recap of the principles of PBL
Students gain a deeper understanding of the concepts and standards at the heart of a project. Projects also build vital workplace skills and lifelong habits of learning. Projects can allow students to address community issues, explore careers, interact with other adults, use technology, and present their work to audiences beyond the classroom.
