Project-based Learning

I am sure most of us in the program do at least a good amount of project based learning. I am also sure some of them have not gone as well as hoped. I do still know teachers out there that do not see the value so this is a great article for them to read.

I have a co-teacher who wanted to be a principal a few years ago. The other day he said to me " Once we get back to basics I will be a principal" I didn't say anything, but in my mind I was thinking...he just does not get it! We will never be going back to kids sitting in rows and listening to teachers lecture all day. We will always have technology and group work in classrooms. He like many teachers think project based learning is a passing phase and maybe they are secretly hoping that it is, because let's face it. It is harder to be a teacher these days than it was even ten years ago.
