Project-Based Learning for Parents
The old-school model of passively learning facts and reciting them out of context is no longer sufficient to prepare students to survive in today's world. Solving highly complex problems requires that students have both fundamental skills (reading, writing, and math) and 21st century skills (creating, collaborating, critical thinking, contributing, communicating). With this combination of skills, students become directors and managers of their learning process, guided and mentored by a skilled teacher.
Is PBL effective for all students?
PBL benefits all students because they:
- do more challenging and meaningful work
- explore their own interests and share their talents
- see how learning connects to real life
- build skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and creativity/innovation
- learn how to manage time well, work independently, and meet deadlines
- learn how to work on an effective team
- feel that they can make a difference in the world
