Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
'Using Problem-Based Learning has changed the way I teach completely. My children now learn more, do more, and have much more fun in the process. I have more fun in the process too and, once again, can enjoy the things that attracted me to teaching in the very first place. I recommend that every K-8 teacher pick up this book and use it not just for what PBL can do for students, but what it does for teachers!'
Elizabeth Durling, 20-year elementary school teacher
Winston-Salem, North Carolina
This student-centered approach energizes busy teachers and quiet learners!
Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is the powerful, value-added teaching and learning style that hundreds of schools across the country have successfully implemented in their classrooms. By highlighting core concepts, practical applications, and sample PBL exercises in an easy-to-follow format, this comprehensive quick-reference manual empowers educators with the knowledge and strategies necessary to cultivate engaged, proactive students, while alleviating overburdened teachers.
The text vividly illustrates how PBL can enliven curriculum and lesson-planning by encouraging students to play a more central role in their own learning process. It provides a straightforward framework for efficiently and effectively teaching problem-solving skills, tapping children’s interests and previous knowledge, and making the curriculum relevant to students’ worlds of meaning.
Special features include:
- Comprehensive definition of PBL and its benefits
- PBL planning matrixes and sample PBL instructional materials for easy integration into the classroom
- Real-life sucess stories of teachers using PBL techniques
- Detailed PBL problem scenarios specific to each grade level, with examples of how student groups worked together to solve them

Lots of great ideas, just very limited ideas per grade level. I've come to discover that there is PBL - problem based learning, which this book toots, but the bigger PBL meaning is PROJECT based learning. Project based learning has more meat to the student outcome. This is a good resource for independent student work to "enrich" those kids who finish early or need a bit more challenging things to work on. Just don't expect more than 3 ideas per grade level and for grade 5, it just tweaked the same problem.
