Project Based Learning
Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a dynamic approach to teaching and learning that allows students to actively and authentically explore complex real world problems, while integrating the core content areas into student-driven research and solutions. PBL focuses on complex inquiries that empower students to work together as they apply and develop their multiple intelligences and creative problem solving skills. Students experience flexibility, freedom of expression, and opportunities for both teamwork and individual work. PBL teaches students that the world is comprised of an array of complex and interrelated systems.
Project work enables students to discover the important knowledge and skills necessary to master the standards and key concepts across a blending of academic subjects. Students delve more deeply into concepts and explore new facets to their subject material. They work on projects over a span of time, acquiring new skill sets along the way, and achieving outcomes to their efforts which are personally meaningful. Hard work combined with new levels of academic freedom inspires students to develop unique, creative expressions in each new area of inquiry. Interdisciplinary Project-Based Learning will take center stage at our school, as we create a culture of collaboration in which students develop genuine relationships with each other, teachers, parents, community members, and the environment.
Content areas across subjects and standards will be integrated to make learning relevant to real-world experience as well as serving as a demonstration that academic subjects are inextricably intertwined. Our school will provide the resources necessary such as time, coaching, communication tools, teammates, materials, and adequate work space to successfully develop projects blending fields of study. Student projects combine arts, language skills, historical research, scientific analysis, and mathematical knowledge as they learn to solve authentic problems. Students will help develop their own learning objectives, outcomes, and rubrics to determine outcome success, encouraging deeper learning.
Students will give and receive peer feedback on the quality of their work, leading them to make revisions, conduct further study, and more readily identify quality efforts. They will assume full ownership and responsibility for their projects, within classroom parameters, as they present their completed work in the final evaluation stages.
