Just starting with the planning and brainstorming of a project?
If you currently do not have a project in development, planned, or created, then we must first brainstorm. Use the guide below, explore some of the project resources and start to think about where a comfortable space in curriculum might be to test the waters of project based learning.

Already Have A Project?
If you have a project that you have created, developed, and utilized, then maybe it is time to look at the project and discover if there might be any tweaks to be made to strengthen the learning experience. Use the rubric below to self assess the work and where you might want to go next.
Project Design Rubric
Project Design Rubric
The Project Design Rubric uses the Essential Project Design Elements as criteria to evaluate projects. The rubric aligns with PBLWorks' Gold Standard PBL model. Definitions and practical examples are used to clarify the meaning of each dimension.
The rubric helps educators understand the difference between a simple "project" and rigorous Gold Standard PBL. Teachers who are new to PBL can see how to move from beginner to expert.

Overview: Presenter gives overview of project or idea. At this point they may discuss concerns or questions they want their peers to address during the tuning. Presenter can also bring work or examples to show their group. (5 minutes)
Clarifying Questions: The group has the presenter clarifying questions, to help better understand the project or idea. Clarifying questions only require brief, factual answers. (5 minutes)
Example: How long do you foresee this project lasting?
Probing Questions: The group asks the presenter deeper questions. This will help the presenter formulate better idea of what this project will look like. This cannot be advice in disguise.
Example: What evidence will you gather to assess your students, and be sure they met the learning standard?”4. Discussion: The presenter cannot speak during this time, they sit listen and take notes, while the group discusses the project and formulates answers to questions or new ideas and provides helpful feedback (10 minutes)
Response: The presenter has a chance to respond to the points that their peers discussed in the last 10 minutes.
Debrief: Group discusses if they met the goals of the tuning and analyzes the tuning process.
