"In Project Based Learning (PBL), students go through a process of inquiry in response to a complex question. While allowing for some degree of student "voice and choice," rigorous projects are carefully planned, managed, and assessed to help students learn academic content, practice 21st Century Skills (such as collaboration, communication & critical thinking), and create authentic products & presentations."
