Searching for project based learning resources can be a tiring process. So many websites offer information on PBL, that it can be hard to nail down the core concepts of PBL. When I had to look at Edutopia for relevant PBL info, I found an easy to understand, robust group of resources compiled together.
Here was my favorite article: https://www.edutopia.org/blog/PBL-and-standardized-tests-andrew-miller
It was a well written article that covered the issues that exist between PBL and standardized tests. Incorporating formal assessments into newer teaching styles has been a sort of academic hobby of mine over this past year. Too much formal testing can stifle creativity and limit a teacher's curriculum. This article introduces the idea of looping when dealing with connecting PBL and standardized tests. Looping is using a curriculum to revisit important test concepts. PBL offers this ability in an interactive, easy to understand way.
