Leading effective Project-Based Learning classrooms is complex and challenging work. In Core Practices for Project Based Learning: A Guide for Teachers and Leaders, Pam Grossman, Zachary Herrmann, Sarah Kavanagh, and Christopher Pupik Dean identify and describe four primary goals of PBL teachers and the core teaching practices that support students in achieving those goals. Through vignettes and rich descriptions of teaching the authors illustrate how teachers can refine their practice to more effectively lead PBL classrooms that support deep disciplinary content learning, engage students in authentic work, support student collaboration, and build an iterative culture where students are always prototyping, reflecting, redesigning, editing, and trying again.
