Project-based Learning (PBL) addresses many of the concerns teachers have about rigor and relevance in school by bringing authenticity, active exploration, and audience to student work. PBL has been shown to have positive effects on student achievement, but more importantly, it helps students to acquire the 21st century skills needed to succeed in today’s world. PBL also addresses the desire by many teachers to have a more integrated curriculum and still maintain laser-like focus on meeting standards.
