Overview
The Beryl Buck Institute for Education creates, gathers, and shares high-quality project-based learning instructional practices and products and provides services to teachers, schools, and districts. The institute will facilitate the creation and adoption of project-based learning standards that include deeper learning outcomes; in addition, the institute will evaluate its principal development program for alignment to deeper learning and introduce a portfolio defense system for leaders. This grant will test the theory of diffusion that by making elements of deeper learning leadership more observable, the practices and ideas will be more likely to spread.

Grants to this Grantee
for designing a performance assessment system and content platform for OER PBL curricular units
PBLWorks builds capacity among teachers, school leaders, and school system leaders to design, implement, and facilitate project-based learning (PBL), an instructional approach in which students work collaboratively to investigate rigorous, authentic, and complex challenges aligned to grade level and subject area standards. To achieve this, PBLWorks is designing and delivering Open Educational Resource (OER) PBL units, paired with professional development and enabled by an online platform. This grant supports strategic planning and the generation of an aligned performance assessment system for these PBL units. (Substrategy: Content Tools and Services)
