Our Focus on Project Based Learning
Our principal and teachers have received specialized training in Project Based Learning (PBL) and are thrilled with the depth it adds to more traditional methods.
PBL is distinctive in that it encourages students to identify real-world problems or issues, and then develop solutions, learning as they go. The following is a list of elements that are typically involved in the project-based learning process:
- Role-playing
- Real-world scenarios
- Blended writing genres
- Authentic assessments
- Units that assess Multiple skill
- Authentic audiences
- Real-world expertise brought into the classroom
- Student choice
- Collaboration
- Multiple methods of communication
"PBL doesn't replace content. It asks the teacher to create a vehicle in which to communicate that content."
