Project-based learning has emerged as one of today′s most effective instructional practices.

  • Design projects for various content areas across all grade levels
  • Integrate technology throughout the learning process
  • Use Khan Academy, webquests, wikis, and more to foster deeper conceptual learning
  • Build social learning networks
  • Differentiate instruction by scaffolding supports for the learning process

The resources, examples, and strategies presented support easy implementation!" -- Catherine Alaimo Stickney, Director Of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment
"Project based learning is the future of education. We can no longer prepare students for today′s global world with traditional teaching methods. This book may well be our ticket to the future in education." -- Denise Rives, Educational Consultant
