Reforms
in
this
state
are
intended
to
address
the
needs
of
some
of
the
nations
least-‐
funded
and
lowest
performing
schools.
It
is
important
to
see
that
teachers
of
students
with
a
range
of
student
academic
performance
can
implement
PBL
as
a
way
to
teach
and
assess
21st
century
skills
without
sacrificing
academic
rigor.
The
findings
suggest
that
PBL
use
with
professional
development
can
have
an
impact
on
21st
century
teaching
and
learning.
