CraftED Curriculum is a Project Based Learning consultancy on San Elijo Avenue in Encinitas's Cardiff-by-the-Sea district, founded by a doctorate-level curriculum specialist whose PBL-lite© framework adapts project-based instruction for virtual, hybrid, and traditional classroom settings. The consultancy has trained educators across 42 states and 12 countries, aligning workshop content to Common Core, Next Generation Science Standards, and Deeper Learning Competencies — the same standards-alignment philosophy that drives enrichment at tutoring centers like Sylvan Learning of Encinitas on El Camino Real. Service offerings span on-site PBL workshops, custom curriculum design for school districts, and self-paced online certification courses that equip teachers to build standards-grounded projects from scratch. Real-world project design draws on partnerships with community organizations, connecting classroom content to environmental and agricultural challenges explored by groups like the Solana Center for Environmental Innovation in the greater Encinitas area. The PBL-lite© framework modifies traditional project planning protocols to account for asynchronous and synchronous instructional constraints, enabling 14 grade levels to implement authentic project cycles within compressed scheduling windows.
