Teacher Training & Classroom Management Planned session

Active Learning through Project-Based Education

Name: Active Learning through Project-Based Education
Start: 2027-12-20
End: 2027-12-24
Location: Ema Antalya

A poster at the end of a unit is not project-based learning. PBLWorks names seven elements a project needs before it counts — and this week you design one against all seven, then score it on the rubric they publish.

Session dates20–24 Dec 2027

About this course

A project can look hands-on and still be missing much of what makes project-based learning work. This week you design one real project for your own class and check it, part by part, against a published standard before any pupil sees it. Monday — you name what the project must teach, then turn a curriculum…

Methodology

Measured Against the Gold Standard Model

Every participant works on one real project for their own class, and at each stage it is measured against a named element of the model rather than against how it feels.

The Week Runs the Way a Project Runs

Critique and revision on Thursday, a public product on Friday — participants go through the last two elements themselves rather than hearing them described, which is also a fast way to notice why pupils sometimes resist both.

Tools Where the Work Needs Them

Digital tools appear at the points in a project where they do real work — finding and judging sources during the inquiry — rather than as a separate topic with its own day. Team collaboration and making the product are pedagogical decisions worked through directly (Wednesday, Thursday); naming a specific tool for either is optional and left to your own school's platform.

What you'll take home

Turn a curriculum topic into a driving question that meets the Gold Standard's first element, with the content standards the project must teach named before the question is written.

Design a sustained inquiry that runs over weeks, and decide what makes the project authentic — real context, real tools, real audience, or an honest substitute your school can actually reach.

Write the pupils' choice points and the reflection checkpoints into a project timetable, and set out how individual learning will be assessed inside a group product.

Score your own project with PBLWorks' Project Design Rubric, element by element, and revise the two elements that score weakest.
