Curriculum Design

Custom materials to get started with PBL!

While CraftED always encourages building teacher capacity to design curriculum, we understand that sometimes schools and companies simply need the projects or PBL curriculum maps developed for them.

You might need curriculum designed if you are:

  • Looking to take “brick and mortar” classes online through virtual learning
  • Opening a school and need charter approval
  • Have a large grant for curriculum materials, and you can’t find quality PBL materials that suit your needs
  • Looking for college approval of a PBL course description
  • A school leader with teachers in need of additional PBL support in the form of teaching materials
