Project Based Learning
Welcome to Early Childhood Project Based Learning! We’re glad you found us.
We empower early childhood educators to implement high quality Project Based Learning with our youngest learners. Our website, workshops and publications are tailored to meet the needs of educators who work with children ages 3 through 8 in a wide range of school contexts and communities.
Project Based Learning (PBL) is a pedagogical approach in which students actively construct their own knowledge over a sustained period of time, collaborating with their peers to complete a public product that answers a driving question or solves a challenging problem.
We believe all students, regardless of their age, can engage in PBL. Project Based Learning empowers students to learn and discover fundamental lessons about themselves and the world. Young children stretch themselves to ask questions, make plans, and follow through on their ideas. It is through Project Based Learning that children not only learn academic content, but more importantly, they begin to better understand themselves as human beings and as learners.
Our book, Implementing Project Based Learning in Early Childhood: Overcoming Misconceptions and Reaching Success is available now!
