New Newsletter: Project-Based Learning
Posted by on August 25, 2006
Since its inception in 1991, the George Lucas Educational Foundation has been an advocate for project-based learning (PBL) and transforming the learning process from its traditional basis in lectures, textbooks, and memorization. In the real world, we do projects. We don’t read chapters in textbooks and answer quizzes with answers at the back of the book. School life should become more like real life, where the important questions don’t have easy answers. A number of schools are moving toward this twenty-first-century model of schooling, using projects as the new form of curriculum and instruction. Rigorous PBL should demonstrate student outcomes on standard measures and core curricula but should also show much deeper and more meaningful learning. This weekly newsletter is a one-stop source for the latest on PBL.
