Description
Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an excellent tool for any teacher to use, but it is especially powerful when working with gifted students. Gifted students need to be challenged to engage further with the material, and PBL is a great way to help students connect their learning to real-world experiences as well as to make cross-curricular links.
In “Using Projects to Maximize Capacity in Your Gifted Classroom," Todd Stanley shows you how a well-designed project naturally differentiates for each student’s individual needs and progress. That is what makes PBL such a great tool for working with gifted students. The key is knowing how to design a great project and use it to maximize your students’ learning and engagement with the material you are trying to teach.
In this course you will:
- Understand the benefits of using project-based learning (PBL)
- See the advantages of using PBL with gifted students
- Gain a fundamental understanding of the steps of PBL
- Begin to create your own PBL lesson that can be used in your classroom

Great course!
Lauren – WORTHINGTON CITY (verified owner) –
Somewhat helpful; although I would have a difficult time giving up as much control as this teacher indicated he gives up. I was troubled by the lack of explanation of progress checks along the way – in the example he gave of a student who produced an elaborate project that didn’t score well, shouldn’t there have been an opportunity along the way to communicate that to the student, so he could revise it, before the very end? It seems like formative assessments should be worked into this idea of project-based learning.
