Where Learning Begins
By designing academic projects using the principles of Project Based Learning, students can engage in authentic learning experiences that will help them build valuable skills and knowledge.
What are some of the learning outcomes
Collaboration
Students will engage in collaboration with their peers and develop team workinga nd leadership skills
Communication Skills
Students will need to learn to present materials to themselves and audiences. They will also need to learn how to communicate effectively and be able to negotiate during decision making.
Applying Their Knowledge
Students will need to apply their learned knowledge from the course or topic towards finding a solution to the problem at hand. This can include learning transference such that students will take ideas and principles from other subject areas to help them.
Partnerships with Local Businesses
Schools and classrooms will develop meaningful solutions with local businesses and organizations. This can include expertise from the business owners, sponsorships, as well as other types of relationships that will help all parties.
Critical Thinking
The open ended nature of the problems and projects will require students to be flexible in their decision making but also require their awareness of their projects as a whole. They will need to develop the skills to manage their project and give them the experience of what it is like in the real world.
Explorative Learnjing
Students will need to drive their own learning as their projects begin to pose problems. Sometimes students may need to learn about an industry and sometimes they may need to learn how to video edit or program to develop their presentation or program/app.
