How do I plan a PBL Unit?

Planning a PBL Unit takes time and intentionality. The more time you spend planning, the better the PBL Unit outcomes. Since each PBL Unit is comprised of several core components, it is not only helpful, but also crucial that you use a planning form to ensure you hit every aspect of the PBL. PBL fidelity is most easily accomplished when you have a structure or framework, such as a planning form, that you use to map out each PBL Unit. This page provides planning forms that you are free to use as well as other resources to help you ensure you plan a successful PBL Unit.
