  25. Problem-Based Learning “The single best way to grow a better brain is to engage in challenging problem solving. Surprisingly, it doesn’t matter to our brains whether we come up with the right answer or not: the neural growth happens because of the process, not because we have found the correct answer.” -“Teaching with the Brain in Mind” by Eric Jensen

  26. Real World Problem Hook Students Activate Prior Knowledge Implementing Problem-Based Learning Create a Plan Students Work in Groups Organize Materials & Resources
