Q: Which students benefit most from PBL?

The ones in the PBL classrooms? 

Ok, seriously, we think all students benefit from being asked to learn how to collaborate as well as learn to manage their time, task, materials, and plan ahead. PBL asks students to practice those in a LifePractice environment where there are real stakes for failure, but support for success along the way that is geared toward students' interests, abilities, and readiness for learning by doing. All students benefit from the community that is created in a PBL environment.


While many educators today are focused on the struggling student in poverty, or those with learning disabilities who most certainly benefit from the engagement and independence that grows in a PBL learner, we believe that tremendous growth happens in underachieving  high-ability learners. They're the ones who often put out the least effort toward learning and develop terrible habits (and attitudes) as a result. In a PBL classroom, they're compelled to use their abilities. To want to know more. To begin to develop good learning habits. 

We believe that all students benefit from being excited and engaged in their learning. 


We believe that all students benefit from learning to love learning.
