Tip:
When you work with your teachers to design PBL activities, focus on what students will be able to do and should know. In designing a project, consider the SMART elements:
Specific: Ensure that everyone is aware of the learning goals, outcomes and objectives.
Measured: Define the academic content standards that will be addressed.
Achievable: Make sure that the goal and objectives are realistic and doable.
Relevant: Review the goal and make sure it is aligned to the standard and topic.
Timely: Develop a timeline that works and is realistic with the curriculum and school calendar.
