Getting Started with PBL
The best projects have the following in common. They:


 * are loosely designed with the possibilities of different learning paths
 * are generative, causing students to construct meaning
 * center on a **driving question** or are otherwise structured for inquiry
 * capture student interest through complex and compelling **real-life or simulated** experiences
 * are realistic, and therefore cross **multiple disciplines**
 * reach **beyond school** to involve others
 * tap rich data or primary sources
 * are structured so students learn with and from each other
 * have students working as inquiring experts might
 * get at 21st century skills and literacies, including communication, project management, and technology use
 * get at important learning dispositions, including persistence, risk taking, confidence, resilience, self-reflection, and cooperation
 * have students **learn by doing**
