The purpose of this publication is to describe why and how all students should benefit from project-based learning (PBL) in preparation for a project-based world. Our goal is to reach an audience of people inside and outside of education including teachers and education leaders and also business leaders, community members and parents. Our message is twofold. First, there are new economic forces that require us to think through what preparation looks like for students in a world that is increasingly organized by project-based work. Second, we need to reorganize learning in ways that support preparation for all students, and particularly those who are farthest from opportunity. We conclude this publication with recommendations and a PBL quick start guide for students, and invite feedback and commentary through our #ProjectBased hashtag and through guest blogging opportunities on GettingSmart.com.

Also includes a Student Quick Start Guide. Electronic reproduction. Join the Conversation #ProjectBased ; #DeeperLearning. "August 2016"--T.p.
