The PBL Playbook: A Step-by-Step Guide to Actually Doing Project-Based Learning

A very well written book! Interesting ideas appear throughout and the PBL is layer out very nicely for 1 classroom of students. Thanks!

Shameful, A.J. Juliani. I am sending the book back and I encourage all educators to be leery of purchasing this book as it falsely advertises the PBL framework. This book is a huge disappointment as it falsely advertises PBL support to teachers. As a practitioner of PBL for the past 7 years, I was looking for a PBL book to help mentor a fellow-teacher with the process of PBL - this book is not it. All this book does is provide testimonials and arguments for the practice of PBL with no academic substance or direction for teachers who are looking to implement the PBL process. Instead of being kind and providing teachers with information and understanding in the PBL steps, the author hides behind narratives and anecdotes as a form of ethos in order to financially prey upon curious teachers. Regardless of what the book advertises, this is not a step-by-step guide but rather a ploy to trick educators; this book does not contribute to authentic pedagogy. Again, shameful that the author - a fellow educator - would go to such great lengths to sell a falsely advertised book in order to profit off of educators who are looking to better their practice for the sake of children.

Nothing really useful here. I read through it, but there was no real information on how to create and plan a project. Lots of testimonials, no real guidance. Went to the website. Templates. Brief descriptions. Would've liked to have seen at least one project from beginning to end: the plan, any revisions along the way, and especially reflections on how it went.Really disappointed.

Just started reading this book. Very good information and with teacher stories makes it relatable.

Lots of project examples
