In this workshop, we will explore how teachers can design a Gold-Standard PBL unit, planning backward from core competencies, a powerful driving question, and a student product that is authentic to the students and taps into their funds of knowledge. Then we will show how student choice can be built into the unit and proficiencies can be measured in real time. Finally, students will share how the structure of the class facilitated their learning.
