"What is it? This article explains how BIE's new Gold Standard PBL model differs from our older model of the "8 Essential Elements of PBL" and why we made the changes. Why do we like it? We think people who were familiar with our original model for PBL will find it helpful to learn about why some familiar elements are gone, but be reassured that the changes are an understandable step forward. How can you use it? Use this article to help teachers and school leaders who have been using BIE's older model make the transition to Gold Standard PBL."

Our conception of Gold Standard PBL has three parts: 1) Student Learning Goals (in the center of the diagram below) 2) Essential Project Design Elements (shown in the red sections of the diagram), and 3) Project Based Teaching Practices (which we explain elsewhere)."
