Resources for Learning to Implement PBL in the Classroom

These resources are designed to help the new PBL teacher feel comfortable taking that first step with project-based learning.  In this section, PBL is broken down to a basic understanding, attempting to highlight the areas that are in all PBL lessons.  Though projects differ from teacher to teacher depending on experience, teaching using these principals will net exciting results with students.  New teachers are encouraged to focus on these basics and hopefully will realize that projects, like all lessons, change and mature over time and use.  By focusing on these basic ideas, discouragement that can ensue from looking at the projects from more experienced teachers will be minimal.
