”The Buck Institute for Education (BIE) has designed the PBL 101 workshop, and this workbook along with it, to exemplify the experience of a project. The ”project” you will undertake is to plan a project for use in your classroom. In the BIE model of PBL, every good project mus have eight essential elements. Here’s how the workshop and workbook reflect these elements: 1. Significant content. You will gain basic knowledge about how to design, assess, and manage an effective, standards aligned project. 2. 21st century competencies. You will practice critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity. 3. In-depth inquiry. You are encouraged and given opportunities to ask questions, did deep into the topic of PBL, and find your own answers. 4. Driving questions. Your work over the three days will focus on the question, ”How can we plan effective projects for your students?” 5. Need to know. We will begin with an entry event to launch our ”project”, then create and add to a list of what you need to know in order to complete your challenge. 6. Voice and choice. You man plan any project you wish -- limited or ambitious, on any topic, aligned with standards of your choice -- and make it suitable for you and your students. 7. Critique and revision. At checkpoints along the way, you will assess your work-in-progress and get feedback from peers and the BIE facilitator so you can improve your project’s design. 8. Public audience. You will present your work to ”critical friends” and celebrate a job will done.
