PBL + AI Toolkit

These free PBL+AI resources were designed to help educators thoughtfully integrate artificial intelligence while keeping human thinking, creativity, collaboration, productive struggle, and authentic learning at the center. Across the toolkit, you’ll find practical supports for both students and teachers that move classrooms beyond simply “using AI” toward purposeful, reflective, and meaningful learning experiences.

The collection includes:

• AI Prompting Progression Ladder

• Traffic Light Evaluation Protocol

• Keep–Fix–Question Revision Framework

• PBL + AI Planning Placemat

• “Should AI Be Used Here?” Decision Path

• Humans Meaningfully in the Loop Checklist

• Authentic Audience Planning Map

• Human-AI Teaming Spectrum

• Productive Struggle Decision Guide

• Purpose Before Prompting Framework

These resources are designed to support real classroom implementation and can be used flexibly across grade levels and content areas. Use them to create classroom anchor charts, support student notebooks, guide collaborative planning conversations, facilitate reflection, or post directly in your LMS for students and teachers to access throughout a project. Together, they help reinforce thoughtful AI integration, deeper inquiry, authentic application, and human-centered learning.
