REVIEW
Teachers who are interested in implementing project-based lessons in their classroom will want to bookmark this site for a host of resources from lesson plans to ideas about how to effectively implement PBL in your own school. The site is labeled as “high school” but there are plenty of materials that are easily adapted for middle school content areas as well as high school (science, math, language arts, social studies, and visual/performing arts). All of the materials are downloadable and ready to be replicated, adapted and built on according to each teachers curriculum needs. Teachers will also appreciate the Flash videos that describe the approach to project-based learning, conversations with PBL teachers and a documentary on the impact of PBL on student learning. |
