    Suzie Boss

    It's no secret that in today's complex world, students face unparalleled demands as they prepare for college, careers, and active citizenship. However, those demands won't be met without a fundamental shift from traditional, teacher-centered instruction toward innovative, student-centered teaching and learning. For schools ready to make such a shift, project-based learning (PBL) offers a proven framework to help students be better equipped to tackle future challenges.<p>Project Based Teachers encourage active questioning, curiosity, and peer learning; create learning environments in which every student has a voice; and have a mastery of content but are also comfortable responding to students' questions by saying, «I don’t know. Let's find out together.»<p>In this book, Suzie Boss and John Larmer build on the framework for Gold Standard PBL originally presented in <em>Setting the Standard for Project Based Learning</em> and explore the seven practices integral to Project Based Teaching:<ul><li>Build the Culture</li><li>Design and Plan</li><li>Align to Standards</li><li>Manage Activities</li><li>Assess Student Learning</li><li>Scaffold Student Learning</li><li>Engage and Coach</li></ul><p>For each practice, the authors present a wide range of practical strategies and include teachers' reflections about and suggestions from their classroom experiences.<p>This book and a related series of free videos provide a detailed look at what's happening in PBL classrooms from the perspective of the Project Based Teacher. Let's find out together.<p><em>A copublication of ASCD and Buck Institute for Education (BIE).</em>

    Setting the Standard for Project Based Learning

    Suzie Boss

    Project based learning (PBL) is gaining renewed attention with the current focus on college and career readiness and the performance-based emphases of Common Core State Standards, but only high-quality versions can deliver the beneficial outcomes that schools want for their students. It’s not enough to just “do projects.” Today’s projects need to be rigorous, engaging, and in-depth, and they need to have student voice and choice built in. Such projects require careful planning and pedagogical skill. The authors&mdash;leaders at the respected Buck Institute for Education&mdash;take readers through the step-by-step process of how to create, implement, and assess PBL using a classroom-tested framework. Also included are chapters for school leaders on implementing PBL systemwide and the use of PBL in informal settings. Examples from all grade levels and content areas provide evidence of the powerful effects that PBL can have, including * increased student motivation and preparation for college, careers, and citizenship; * better results on high-stakes tests; * a more satisfying teaching experience; and * new ways for educators to communicate with parents, communities, and the wider world. By successfully implementing PBL, teachers can not only help students meet standards but also greatly improve their instruction and make school a more meaningful place for learning. Both practical and inspirational, this book is an essential guide to creating classrooms and schools where students&mdash;and teachers&mdash;excel.
