The push for project-based learning (PBL) has been at the forefront of education for the last decade. Exposure to projects even in the lower grade levels helps students learn foundational skills that will strengthen the collaborative and leadership skills that will assist them as they get older. The result of a typical PBL project requires students to create a product or perform a particular skill. In a PBL assignment, the students learn the content through the project, not before or after it (Larmer 2014). If implemented strategically, incorporating projects in the classroom curriculum can provide opportunities for students to practice skills that are missing in the instruction of traditional classrooms. Skills such as time management, collaboration, and the ability to accept and respond to feedback are vital to a student's success in the workforce and will prepare a student well-beyond the pages of a textbook. After introducing the two most well-known types of PBL--problem-based learning (PrBL) and project-oriented learning (POL)--this article offers eight key strategies for implementing projects in the classroom.
