We’re excited to share a set of brand-new Strategy Guides, resources designed to spark ideas and provide practical tools that make PBL easier to implement.
This year, new questions are surfacing in our workshops and on social media: “How can I give students more meaningful choices without overwhelming them?” “What does the workshop model look like in a project-based classroom?” “How do I guide students through multiple rounds of revision so it feels productive, not repetitive?”
We’ve got answers for you. 📘Our newest Strategy Guides include:
Facilitating Student Choice
Student choice is an essential element of high-quality Project Based Learning, one that fosters a sense of agency and independence in students by empowering them to take charge of their own learning.
The Workshop Model
The workshop model is an apprenticeship approach to teaching that emphasizes structured learning in short, focused segments followed by student-centered practice and application.
Revision Strategies
Revision plays a vital role in making PBL an iterative process that fosters deep learning and results in high-quality work. Revision enables students to reflect on their learning, incorporate feedback, and improve their work over time.
Thinking Routines
Thinking routines guide students through intentional thinking processes. These routines offer frameworks that help students slow down, process their thoughts, make connections between ideas, and engage thoughtfully with their work.
Using AI to Support PBL Planning
Using AI tools like Claude.AI, Gemini, and ChatGPT can support and enhance project planning.
Using Success Skills Rubrics in Early Childhood
Success Skill Rubrics can be leveraged throughout a project to support the development of the focus success skill. With a few considerations, young children can benefit from using success skill rubrics in the classroom.
Explore our library of 20+ guides, which are resources that have long been a teacher favorite for making PBL strategies concrete and classroom-ready. Whether you’re looking for ways to empower students with choice, structure meaningful work time, or bring fresh tools into your projects, these guides are here to help.
