Lots of great PBL Blog posts this year on bie.org! In 2019 we’ll have many more, with a new blogging team from our National Faculty plus guest blog posts, which anyone is welcome to send us anytime.
Out of a total of 148 in 2018, here are our top 20 posts in terms of reader views, according to our analytics—which I was glad to see matched most of my favorites. Some of our later posts this fall will no doubt rise up on the list over time, as we had some good ones toward the end of the year, but this set has some very practical content that's worth revisiting:
