John Larmer Editor in Chief at the Buck Institute for Education At the Buck Institute for Education (BIE), we've been keeping a list of the many types of "_____- based learning" we've run across over the years: Case-based learning Challenge-based learning Community-based learning Design-based learning Game-based learning Inquiry-based learning Land-based learning Passion-based learning Place-based learning Problem-based learning Proficiency-based learning Service-based learning Studio-based learning Team-based learning Work-based learning .
Good article explaining the different names/types of ____ Based Learning and some of the common features and differences between the more popular ones. It is a good article to begin research on PBLs.

These standards help conceptualize the key components of the pedagogy of PBL.
Teachers create or adapt a project for their context and students, and plan its implementation from launch to culmination while allowing for some degree of student voice and choice.
Teachers use standards to plan the project and make sure it addresses key knowledge and understanding from subject areas to be included.
Teachers engage in learning and creating alongside students, and identify when they need skill-building, redirection, encouragement, and celebration.
Teachers use formative and summative assessments of knowledge, understanding, and success skills, and include self and peer assessment of team and individual work.
Teachers employ a variety of lessons, tools, and instructional strategies to support all students in reaching project goals.
Teachers work with students to organize tasks and schedules, set checkpoints and deadlines, find and use resources, create products and make them public.
Teachers explicitly and implicitly promote student independence and growth, open-ended inquiry, team spirit, and attention to quality.
This article from BIE explains what makes a gold standard Project Design. Because so many teachers have adopted PBL, the Buck Institute decided to define a specific standard for PBL because many projects have been substandard.
Perfect timing for this week. I also joined the QFT site that is linked in this article. It has some great videos for helping teachers implement good questioning in her/his classroom.
