The Challenge Based Learning user guide is for anyone (students, teachers, parents, administrators, and community members) interested in building learning communities focused on identifying Challenges and implementing thoughtful and sustainable solutions. 

If you are new to Challenge Based Learning the guide provides background information, key concepts, and resources for getting started.  If you are a Challenge Based Learning veteran the guide includes recent updates and expands on the information found in the original white paper and classroom guide.
