The ML-PBL curriculum was the focus of a multi-year research program. From informative case studies of individual teachers and classrooms to a large-scale randomized control trial for efficacy, the ML-PBL curriculum is one of the best-researched elementary school programs in the country.
Using language literacy and mathematical tools, the Multiple Literacies Project engages students in project-based learning (PBL) to develop usable science knowledge.
The ML-PBL Curriculum engages elementary students (K-5) in making sense of the world. Science educators and researchers from MSU's CREATE for STEM Institute and the University of Michigan partnered to develop, test and revise 3-dimensional, phenomena-based curricula, teacher professional learning materials, and assessments.
