8 Essential Elements of PBL
1. Knowledge and Success Skills - Students build
competencies valuable for today’s world, such
as problem solving, critical thinking,
collaboration, communication, creativity, and
innovation, which are explicitly taught and
assessed.
2. Challenging Problem or Question - Project
work is focused by an open-ended question
that students understand and find intriguing,
which captures their task or frames their
exploration.
3. Sustained Inquiry - Students are engaged in an
extended, rigorous process of asking
questions, using resources, and developing
answers.
4. Authenticity - At its core, the project is focused
on teaching students important knowledge
and skills, to solve authentic “real” problems.

5. Voice and Choice - Students are allowed to
make some choices about the products to be
created, how they work, and how they use
their time, guided by the teacher and
depending on age level and PBL experience.
6. Reflection - Students should have the
opportunity to reflect on what they are
learning, how they are learning and what they
have accomplished.
7. Critique and Revision - The project includes
processes for students to give and receive
feedback on the quality of their work, leading
them to make revisions or conduct further
inquiry.
8. Public Product - Students present their work
to other people, beyond their classmates and
teacher.

PBL: Process, Product & Skills
Project-based learning is authentic,
it represents the world of work. In
the real-world, we address
problems by opening or developing
projects that will hopefully result in
effective products or processes
addressing problems.
