Interested in building a project-based learning model into your classroom routine? Ross Cooper and Erin Murphy have partnered with Times 10 Publications once again to provide more excellent tips on how to do so, in “Project Based Learning”.
Project-based learning has been making waves as the new pedagogical "trend" - the solution that may finally crack the code of student engagement and create the productive classroom environment everyone dreams of. While it may sound too good to be true, you may be surprised to learn that many of the practices that PBL proposes you undertake are actually things you are likely already doing without even noticing!
If you are interested in project-based learning but wary of any solution that promises big, miraculous results, then this book from Ross Cooper and Erin Murphy is for you. They provide actionable, grounded advice regarding inquiry-forward learning models, and describe in detail how you too can benefit from these techniques.

In “Project Based Learning”, the authors explore teaching techniques both new and old, seeking to connect these new principles to the pre-existing educational model for more seamless integration. They also seek, in this new volume, to explore these ideas in more detail, presenting them in an accessible Q&A format.
This volume by Cooper and Murphy builds on the back of “Hacking Project Based Learning”, which was their previous release from Times 10 Publications. In their latest book, however, they seek to dig deep into the foundation of project and inquiry-based lesson plans while discussing the benefits of the learning model and addressing common concerns.

Among the advice presented in “Project Based Learning”, the authors discuss managing chaos and discontent in the classroom. This, they say, is vital given that the PBL model often relies heavily on close collaboration and teamwork among students, and having a keen awareness of the internal politics of the classroom can be necessary to make the system work.
One reviewer said, “As an advocate for inquiry-based learning, I am thrilled that Cooper and Murphy have given us a book that serves as a practical, accessible, and inspiring guide for creating the conditions for ownership of learning and relevance. [This book] gives us multiple entry points to weave best practices together without feeling overwhelmed.”
Cooper and Murphy are both experienced educators who have integrated inquiry-based learning into their own classrooms. Between the two of them, they have collected a large amount of anecdotal evidence and lived experience from which they have constructed the framework of this book.
With this new toolkit, you will be able to better understand the needs of the students in your classroom and wield that knowledge to build more effective, engaging lesson plans. Do not miss out on this valuable advice; your students will thank you!
