This document outlines the key components of project-based learning including an entry event to kick off the project, developing driving questions, organizing students into groups, creating need-to-know lists and project documents, establishing checkpoints, developing a cumulative product, identifying the audience, and facilitating debrief and reflection. It provides examples of entry events, considerations for driving questions, and suggestions for assessments and tech tools to support project-based learning.
