The document discusses Challenge Based Learning (CBL), a collaborative learning approach where students work together to learn about real world issues, propose solutions, and share their work globally. CBL is similar to Project Based Learning but emphasizes solving real problems through an interdisciplinary approach and publishing results. The document provides an overview of the CBL process and resources for teachers to implement CBL projects in their classrooms.

Goals for Today Review various approaches to project-based learning Determine teacher and student best practices Envision the CBL process Brainstorm project ideas Identify examples and resources to support PBL/CBL in your classroom. Start building a project to launch during the next school year Find potential project partners partners
- 7. Challenge Based Learning “Challenge Based Learning is a collaborative learning experience in which teachers and students work together to learn about compelling issues, propose solutions to real problems, and take action. The approach asks students to reflect on their learning and publish their solutions to a worldwide audience.” -Challenge Based Learning: A Classroom Guide
- 8. Is There a Difference? In Project Based Learning (PBL), students go through an extended process of inquiry in response to a complex question, problem, or challenge. While allowing for some degree of student "voice and choice," rigorous projects are carefully planned, managed, and assessed to help students learn key academic content, practice 21st Century Skills (such as collaboration, communication & critical thinking), and create high-quality, authentic products & presentations. -Buck Institute for Education Project Based Learning at High Tech High and Save the Beach
- 9. The Other PBL Problem-based learning (PBL) is an instructional approach that has been used successfully for over 30 years and continues to gain acceptance in multiple disciplines. It is an instructional (and curricular) learner-centered approach that empowers learners to conduct research, integrate theory and practice, and apply knowledge and skills to develop a viable solution to a defined problem. -John R. Savery, Overview of Problem-Based Learning Problem-Based Learning at Punahou
- 10. CBL Best Practices: Students Work in collaborative groups Use technology-based collaborative work spaces , tools and content Focus on real-world problems using an interdisciplinary approach Share the results with the world
- 11. CBL Best Practices: Teachers Connect standards-based subject matter to 21st century content and skills Act as facilitators/project managers with students driving the research and resolution Define products Develop informative and summative measures

- 13. THE PROCESS
- 15. Stage 1 From Big Idea to the Challenge Identifying the big idea and brainstorming potential essential questions. Create a brief call to action video stating the big idea, the essential question and the challenge, inviting others to join in. Students do all this! Skills are embedded throughout these steps. For instance, research skills can be taught in tandem with research during the implementation stage. Students should be journaling throughout these stages.
- 16. Stage 2 Setting the Foundation Generate sets of guiding questions. Identify resources and activities for answering these questions. Students do all this! Students should be journaling throughout these stages.
- 17. Stage 3 Identifying a Solution Brainstorm possible solutions. Decide on a solution and course of action based on research. Students do all this! Students should be journaling throughout these stages.
- 18. Stage 4 Implementation and Evaluation Create and execute an implementation and evaluation plan, gathering multimedia evidence throughout. Collect and analyze data. Students do all this! Students should be journaling throughout these stages.
- 19. Stage 5 Publishing Results and Reflections Solution Videos Reflection videos Students do all this! Students should be journaling throughout these stages.
- 20. How would this work in your school? For middle and high school teachers, how do you cover content and fit CBL into the school year? What are some of the possible pitfalls? Discussion
