Student Achievment
Project Based Learning
PBL can be defined as a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for extended periods of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging, and complex question, problem, or challenge.
On Wednesday our Senior class led the entire school in a day of Project based learning. They designed, prepared and led 5 individual learning activities. Congrats go to them (and Mrs. Newman) for an unconventional day of learning!
See the pics below for some highlights.
