LEARN

We learn something new with each conversation and implementation of Challenge Based Learning.

We believe that a unique element of CBL is that it is continually evolving. We take what we learn from the field and use this knowledge to improve the framework. We firmly believe that teachers, program directors, administrators, students, and parents need to find the most effective learning framework for their specific context. The CBL framework is a starting point for this journey, and we are pleased when we see sites “hack” it and add components from other approaches. Ultimately, it needs to be your classroom, school, and community–based education for it to be meaningful and sustainable.

We love to learn and believe that successful schools and organizations are filled with individuals who have a learner mindset. The items below are some tools for getting to know the framework, but don’t take them as a recipe – use them as a starting point to building the best possible learning experience for everyone in your environment.
