The Buck Institute for Education (BIE) shares these tips and materials to help educators explain and garner community and parent support for project-based learning in the classroom. Start by explaining the need for PBL by talking about student engagement and what skills are necessary to prepare a student for college and the workforce. Avoid using jargon and offer specific answers to parent concerns about PBL, making use of materials on the BIE website. Keep parents informed about and up-to-date on projects in the classroom and be sure to share the results.
