A method of classroom management and approach, especially when teaching in diverse multicultural classrooms, focused on students’ talents and strengths and not on students’ weakness. SBL-assignment students are  asked to build their own learning path which has to include  the following elements: the content (the what), the way of  working (the how) and the possibility to ask for help when  they struggle as well as feedback once they’ve completed  part of the assignment. To help them they receive a rubric  that contains several options for each of these building  blocks. They get to choose how to combine these building  blocks, taking into account their own strengths, to create  their own lesson content. 

In a SBL-environment students evaluate themselves using a  feedback form based on the OICO-principle which lays out a  pathway for a student to master a higher order skill.
