EHS PROJECT BASED LEARNING

What is Project Based Learning?

EHS Powerpoint from 10/23/09

Article to Read as an Introduction to Project Based Learning

Project learning, also known as project-based learning, is a dynamic approach to teaching in which students explore real-world problems and challenges, simultaneously developing cross-curriculum skills while working in small collaborative groups.

Because project learning is filled with active and engaged learning, it inspires students to obtain a deeper knowledge of the subjects they're studying. Research also indicates that students are more likely to retain the knowledge gained through this approach far more readily than through traditional textbook-centered learning. In addition, students develop confidence and self-direction as they move through both team-based and independent work. (http://www.edutopia.org/project-learning-introduction)
