What Is Project-Based Learning?

A structure that transforms teaching from "teachers telling" to "students doing." More specifically, project-based learning can be defined as:
Engaging learning experiences that involve students in complex, real world projects through which they develop and apply skills and knowledge
A strategy that recognizes that significant learning taps students' inherent drive to learn, capability to do work, and need to be taken seriously
Learning in which curricular outcomes can be identified up-front, but in which the outcomes of the student's learning process are neither predetermined nor fully predictable
Learning that requires students to draw from many information sources and disciplines in order to solve problems
Experiences through which students learn to manage and allocate resources such as time and materials
