What is project-based learning?
Project based learning is a pedagogical approach where students work with developing solutions and creating products that address a real-world problem, challenge or question.
​
Through this process, students must collaborate to use knowledge, skills and feedback to improve their work.
​
Projects (products+process) are presented to an authentic audience at an exhibition.
​
Students document their work in a portfolio and formally reflect on their learning during the project and at the end.
Projects combine the head, hands and heart while engaging students in authentic and meaningful work.
​
Students do work that matters.
Why is project-based learning so powerful?
Every country in the world is on the cusp of an education revolution.
They are asking two questions:
​
1. How do we engage more students in their own learning at school?
2. How do we give students the necessary skills to navigate the rapidly-changing workforce?
​
Project-based learning addresses both of these questions by allowing teachers to create projects that are personally relevant, engaging and authentic to the real-world around students.
Projects break down the walls of school so students can see how their learning is relevant beyond the purpose of fulfilling a requirement for an examination.
