Skills gained from project-based learning allow learners to see themselves making a difference in our world. This makes them more committed and leads to students having higher expectations for themselves and society. #essd40pd#transforminglearning
PBL allows the students to drive their learning. “Allowing choice builds intrinsic motivation and learning becomes natural and meaningful.” #essd40pd#passion4learning
Project-based learning allows the student to be in charge of their learning rather than it being teacher-directed. This allows students to carry out their dreams all while meeting state standards. #essd40pd#personalizedlearning
“It is a paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.” - Leo Buscaglia
Let that sink in! #essd40pd
As educators, “We now need to better connect today’s secondary school curriculum to the interests and needs of the students we teach, as well as to the skills they’ll need as adults.” Education needs to be relevant and help our students prepare for the outside world. #essd40pd
We need to create curriculum that require students to “learn to reason, communicate, problem-solve, and work collaboratively”. #essd40pd#21stcenturyskills
“The traditional college-prep, lecture-style curriculum is not connected to the world from which many students come, nor does it align with the world for which students must be prepared.” #essd40pd#pbl#meetsstudentsneeds
