“At its heart, PBL is a creative learning experience that
gives students parameters, guidance, and evaluative feedback as they construct
new knowledge.”
"Rigor matters because it imposes
cognitive load on students, forcing them to confront misconceptions, reconsider
positions, separate the implicit from the explicit, and other critical thinking
practices that distinguish shaky familiarity from true understanding."
"Perhaps the greatest strategy of all,
then, is to know when to break the rules, and be willing to move out of the
accepted archetype of “good teachers” to give your students what you know they
need."
