Debrief Sessions
Discussing the process of PBL with
students is important in establishing
expectations and allowing students to
share their experiences in order to
help others problem solve.

Teamwork troubles? - Take time to
have students stop and reflect. Share
ideas and strategies as a whole group.
Discussion stems are included on the
PBL website to help students learn
how to speak respectively in
teamwork situations. Share the
importance of this skill using real-
world examples.
Time management concerns? -
Have students use the graphic
organizers on the PBL website to
identify the problem and plan their
work. Use the stopwatch timers. At
the end of a learning session, have
students discuss their progress so far.
Expectations not met? If you feel
the class is veering off track, take the
time to break down the standards and
the task scenario with students.
Brainstorm together as a whole
group, and leave anchor charts up for
students to use. Discuss the real
world purpose of the project. Have
students reflect on what will be
expected from their audiences.
Create guidelines together. Keep
student voice and choice alive.

PROJECT BASED LEARNING AT PES
Inquiry alone does not suffice. Children can construct rich meanings when
presented with rich materials, but the meanings they construct, without reflection
and discussion, are often diffuse, mysterious, and laden with misconceptions.
(K. Gallas, Talking Their Way into Science)
