PBL 4: Planning Tools FAQ

Does this course ONLY apply to PBL teachers?

  • No.  While this course approaches planning tool through the lens of PBL rubric, the resources and scenarios will help any teacher apply these strategies within their classroom.  If you are wanting tips to improve your unit or lesson projects, then this course can help.

Do I need to take the other PBL courses before this one?

  • Yes and no.  If you are learning about PBL, then YES - we would recommend taking the other courses that lead to the Planning Tools.  If you teach from a more traditional approach, then NO - you can take this course as a stand alone.

What is the best way to take these courses?

  • We suggest that you avoid "binge watching" the PBL series. While lots of ground will be covered, you want the material to translate into practice. Our recommendation is to move through them one course each week so that you have time to read and reflect. If you desire a faster completion, we suggest no more than 1 course every other day. That way, you learn and then apply before moving on to the next.
