Challenge Based Learning (CBL) is an instructional approach that presents students with challenges to solve or products to create. It provides multiple entry points and solutions, focuses on universal challenges with local solutions, and connects multiple disciplines. CBL teaches 21st century skills through authentic projects, uses technology for collaboration, and allows students to publish their work. It assesses both the problem solving process and the quality of students' solutions.

2. WHY CBL?

3. Challenge Based Learning Provides A multiple entry point strategy and varied and multiple possible solutions A focus on universal challenges with local solutions An authentic connection with multiple disciplines An opportunity to develop 21st century skills The purposeful use of Web 2.0 tools for organizing, collaborating, and publishing Challenge-Based Learning: An Approach for Our Time - A Research Report from The New Media Consortium http://ali.apple.com/cbl/index.html

4. Challenge Based Learning Provides The opportunity for students to do something rather than just learn about something The documentation of the learning experience from challenge to solution 24/7 access to up-to-date technology tools and resources so students can do their work Challenge-Based Learning: An Approach for Our Time - A Research Report from The New Media Consortium http://ali.apple.com/cbl/index.html

16. DISSECTING CHALLENGE BASED LEARNING

17. Challenge Based Learning Design http://ali.apple.com/cbl/

22. CBL Design – Guiding Activities lessons, simulations, games, and other types of activities to help students answer the guiding questions and set the foundation for them to develop innovative, insightful, and realistic solutions Example – Calculate Your Individual Water Footprint

23. CBL Design – Guiding Resources focused set of resources can include podcasts, websites, videos, databases, experts, and so on that support the activities and assist students with developing a solution Example - WaterSense Quiz from the Environmental Protection Agency’ www.epa.gov/watersense/water/text.htm

24. CBL Design – Solution(s) each solution should be thoughtful, concrete, actionable , clearly articulated, and presented in a publishable multimedia format

25. CBL Design – Assessment solution can be assessed for its connection to the challenge, accuracy of the content, clarity of communication, applicability for implementation, and efficacy of the idea the process that the individuals as well as teams went through in getting to a solution can also be assessed, capturing the development of 21st century skills

26. CBL Design – Publishing students are encouraged to publish their results online, soliciting feedback

27. CBL Exemplar – Energy Big Idea = Energy Essential Question = What is the impact of my fossil fuel consumption? Challenge = Reduce your family’s fossil fuel consumption. http://ali.apple.com/cbl/challenges/sustainability/energy.html

28. CBL Exemplar – Energy Guiding Questions = What is a fossil fuel? Where does my family use fossil fuels? What is made from fossil fuels? How much gas does my family use in one week? What are the alternatives to fossil fuels? http://ali.apple.com/cbl/challenges/sustainability/energy.html

29. CBL Exemplar – Energy Guiding Activities = Learn About Fossil Fuels Students research and develop a clear definition of fossil fuels. How Much Fossil Fuel Do You Own? Students create a list of products that have fossil fuels in them. They do an inventory of all the items in their homes that contain fossil fuel and investigate alternatives to these items. http://ali.apple.com/cbl/challenges/sustainability/energy.html

30. CBL Exemplar – Energy Guiding Resources = Energy Story: Fossil Fuels—Coal, Oil and Natural Gas The California Energy Commission provides an overview of fossil fuels. www.energyquest.ca.gov/story/chapter08.html Energy Efficiency The Energy Information Administration provides information for students about energy consumption and efficiency. www.eia.doe.gov/kids/energyfacts/saving/efficiency/savingenergy_secondary.html http://ali.apple.com/cbl/challenges/sustainability/energy.html
