CHALLENGE BASED LEARNING AND YOUR BRAIN

Over the last several decades, neuroscience, psychology and education
researchers have gained significant insights into the learning process. As
research on the brain and learning sheds light on how we learn, Mind, Brain and
Education (MBE) science now appears to support the underlying ideas and
processes of CBL.

Fourteen areas in MBE science intersect with and support the efficacy of the CBL
framework.

BIG IDEA: ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE

Earth Day provides an opportunity to focus on a vast array of environmental
crises and identify ways to make a difference. The impact of environmental
issues is often experienced disproportionately by communities of color and
low-income communities.

Join educators worldwide to identify environmental justice challenges and
develop sustainable and meaningful solutions.

Take Action. Make a Difference.

CHALLENGE BASED LEARNING IN A POST-TRUTH WORLD

To improve the current state of discourse, we need to nurture a generation of
learners willing to ask meaningful questions, critically investigate, include
multiple perspectives, develop thoughtful solutions, and collaboratively develop
solutions. CBL provides a framework for this work.

BIG IDEA: PLASTIC

Plastic is a perfect Big Idea to start your CBL because it is a complex topic
that spans science, history, politics, economics, and human behavior. While we
are learning more and more that plastic is bad for the environment and our
health, it is still ubiquitous in almost everyone’s daily life. From computers,
cars and lightweight packaging that has made the safe transfer of food possible,
plastics have benefited our daily lives. Plastic has made our lives better and
worse at the same time.

CHALLENGE BASED LEARNING (CBL) PROVIDES AN EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE FRAMEWORK FOR
LEARNING WHILE SOLVING REAL-WORLD CHALLENGES. THE FRAMEWORK FUELS COLLABORATION
TO IDENTIFY BIG IDEAS, ASK THOUGHTFUL QUESTIONS, AND IDENTIFY, INVESTIGATE AND
SOLVE CHALLENGES. CBL HELPS LEARNERS GAIN DEEP SUBJECT AREA KNOWLEDGE AND
DEVELOP THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO THRIVE IN AN EVER-CHANGING WORLD.

 


TAKE ACTION. MAKE A DIFFERENCE.



THE FRAMEWORK

The CBL Framework includes three interrelated phases: Engage, Investigate, and
Act. The framework acts as a customizable starting point for learners.

CBL IN ACTION
BIG IDEA: HEALTH

The challenge you choose can make all of the difference. Moving from a narrower
challenge of losing weight to the challenge of “Be Healthy” increases the
options for learning and possible solutions.




IDENTIFYING CHALLENGES.


DEVELOPING SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS.


BECOMING LIFELONG LEARNERS


WHY CHALLENGES?

Challenges surround us: large, small, local, global, short and long-term. Some
we choose, some choose us, some we look forward to, some we dread, some we
address, and some we try to ignore. Ultimately, how we individually and
communally respond to Challenges will determine our future. As problems become
increasingly complex and pressing, the need to develop a generation of engaged
Learners equipped to identify Challenges and develop innovative and sustainable
Solutions is crucial.

Using Challenges to frame learning experiences originated from exploring reality
television, conversations with individuals whose lives center on Challenges, and
reflection on personal learning experiences inside and outside the classroom.
When faced with a Challenge, successful groups and individuals leverage
experience, harness internal and external resources, develop a plan and push
forward to find the best solution. Along the way, there is experimentation,
failure, success and ultimately consequences for actions. Adding Challenges to
learning environments results in urgency, passion, and ownership – ingredients
often missing in schools.


IMAGINE MILLIONS OF EMPOWERED LEARNERS FOCUSED ON CREATING SOLUTIONS TO LOCAL
AND GLOBAL CHALLENGES AS PART OF THEIR SCHOOL WORK. THE WORLD BECOMES A BETTER
PLACE.
