This chapter highlights the effectiveness of teacher professional development to expand and support the implementation of project-based learning. Teacher professional development is essential for the growth of teacher content comprehension in the educational environment, confidence, and refining instructional learning segments. The purpose was to increase the capacity and implementation of project-based learning through teacher professional development that afforded distinctive methods in which teachers acted as a team with a variety of learning tasks, assessments, tools and materials. Consideration was given to educational collaboration and support, the influence of teacher mindset and self-certitude, resource impediments, and improving student participation. The results denoted valuable inferences of how professional development for teachers could guide the function of project- based learning in the learning environment.

This chapter introduces a project-based learning lesson that integrates science, English language arts (ELA), and math through a study related to energy sources. Throughout the lesson, students are engaged in a real-world problem of determining the impact of a population on energy resources and discovering ways to build greener, more energy-efficient schools for students of the future. Within this chapter, the authors present a proposed project timeline that teachers can use for implementation within their own classrooms, including an entry event to engage students in the mission of the project. A connection between science, ELA, and math practices is addressed in order to provide students with an opportunity to understand the correlation between all three subject areas. Suggested teaching and learning tasks focused on the driving question of the project and related to all three subject areas are presented along with suggestions for a culminating product and assessment of student learning.
