Study Notes
Project-Based Learning (PBL) Curriculum Design Framework
- PBL has the potential to advance whole-child development and educational equity
- High-quality PBL curricula, alongside sustained professional learning, supports larger-scale shifts in educational systems
- Designing curriculum materials that embody PBL with equity at its core can support teachers in providing students with deep and equitable learning experiences.
PBL Curriculum Design Framework: Design Principles
- Learner-Centered Approaches: Purpose for Learning, Authenticity, Student Agency, Collaboration, Metacognition
- Course Structures: Centrality of Projects, Content Integration, Content Coherence, Assessment
- Curriculum Supports: Access for Student Learning, Educative Supports for Teachers
PBL Curriculum Design Principle: Centrality of Projects
- Projects are central to learning
- Projects frame the entire process and purpose of learning
- All content is embedded in projects
PBL Curriculum Design Principle: Content Coherence
- Course content is coherent and strategically sequenced
- Learning cycles build on subject knowledge and include deliberate sequencing of SEL, equity, identity, and engagement goals.
- Content is revisited at multiple points throughout the course.
- Students are provided with multiple opportunities to connect previous knowledge, practices, and skills into their current project.
PBL Curriculum Design Principle: Content Integration
- The Curriculum integrates projects with core disciplinary ideas and practices.
- Learning goals aligned with standards are specified, as well as other essential content, such as literacy, social and emotional learning, and equity.
PBL Curriculum Design Principle: Assessment
- The assessment system should be designed to gather evidence of student learning and progress toward the achievement of the learning goals.
- Assessments should be authentic and meaningful to students and should provide feedback that is helpful for both students and teachers.
PBL Curriculum Design Principle: Access for Student Learning
- Ensure that all students have access to the learning materials and resources they need to succeed.
- Consider the learning needs of diverse learners.
- Provide differentiated instruction and support to meet the needs of all students.
PBL Curriculum Design Principle: Educative Supports for Teachers
- Provide teachers with the professional development and support they need to design and implement high-quality PBL curricula.
- Provide teachers with a framework and resources to support their implementation of PBL.
- Foster collaboration and shared learning among teachers to support their ongoing learning and development.
