Managing Projects Effectively
Project management can make or break a project. Teachers are not project managers, which is why learning to manage projects should be a skill every teacher working on PBL should learn. In turn, teachers should train their students to manage their projects effectively. These are the project management skills we train teachers:
-
Assigning team roles
-
Effective project leadership
-
Managing projects with tasks
-
Project management rules
-
Effective project followup
Project Research
The quality of any project depends on the quality of research that students can perform. Projects that are based on best research practices end up being superior to those in which students' research skills were poor.

Identify how disciplines connect to each other
