1 Teacher role

As a teacher, you are responsible for designing and planning the PBL experience, aligning it with the curriculum standards and learning objectives, and providing the necessary resources and scaffolding for your students. You also need to set clear expectations and criteria for the project, and monitor and assess your students' progress and outcomes. The teacher role is more prominent at the beginning and the end of the PBL cycle, when you introduce the driving question, the project scope, and the final presentation or product.

providing benchmarks for students is a critical part of the planning process. This provides information about timing, and if they are moving the correct direction. It is critical the teachers meets with teams at each of these benchmarks.

2 Coach role

As a coach, you are a facilitator and a motivator of your students' learning process, helping them develop the skills and strategies they need to complete their projects. You also provide feedback, guidance, and support to your students, both individually and in groups, as they conduct their inquiry, research, and problem-solving. The coach role is more active during the middle phase of the PBL cycle, when you observe, question, and challenge your students, and help them overcome any difficulties or obstacles.

Donning multiple hats,looking at enabling students is a major part of the role that teachers play in implementing PBL,multifaceted,requiring them to be flexible, creative & student-centered.They act as facilitators, guiding students through the PBL process by helping them define project goals, develop plans, and stay on track. Teachers also serve as coaches, providing support, feedback, and encouragement to help students overcome challenges and achieve more. While students drive their learning, teachers remain the content experts, providing resources, answering questions, and ensuring students learn the necessary content, teachers become learners themselves, exploring new topics alongside students and reflecting on their teaching practices.

As a coach you will find that you may need to assist with team dynamics. If students have not participated in PBL in the past, you may need to prepare them for true collaboration.

3 Mentor role

As a mentor, you are a role model and a source of inspiration for your students, sharing your expertise, experience, and passion for the topic or discipline. You also foster a trusting and respectful relationship with your students, encouraging them to pursue their interests, goals, and passions, and to reflect on their learning and growth. The mentor role is more subtle and flexible throughout the PBL cycle, as you connect with your students on a personal level, and offer them advice, encouragement, and recognition.

4 Balancing the roles

Balancing the roles of teacher, coach, and mentor in PBL integration is not a simple or fixed formula, but rather a dynamic and responsive process that requires you to adapt to the changing needs and situations of your students. You may need to switch between the roles frequently, or combine them in different ways, depending on the phase of the project, the level of student autonomy, and the type of challenge or opportunity that arises. The key is to be aware of your own strengths and limitations as a teacher, coach, and mentor, and to communicate effectively with your students, listening to their voices, feedback, and preferences.

La clave radica en alternar entre ser maestro, entrenador y mentor según las necesidades. Personalmente, equilibro estos roles ajustando mi enfoque según la fase del proyecto, siendo un facilitador activo y un guía reflexivo cuando se requiere.

When working with teachers, I encourage them to view their role as facilitators during project-based learning experiences. Assuming the role of a facilitator requires a balance of being a teacher, mentor, and coach. I've witnessed challenges occur when teachers become too hands-on or too hands-off during the PBL experience. Meaning they either provide too much support or not enough support. It's essential to keep in mind that students should have decision-making opportunities. However, they still need teachers to guide them and provide feedback to ensure they are maximizing the learning experience.
