Taking Advantage of Project-Based Elements to Enhance Learning

How can we engage our students in their learning? What can we do to help them to feel more involved and interested?

For the past year, I believe all of us have realized that more than anything else, we need to present our students with the tools they need to be able to share in the responsibility for advancing in their own studies.

We need to plan lessons so that our students learn to depend on each other and work more independently; in this way they have more chances to move forward between our live-teaching sessions with them.

Perhaps many of you have already reached the conclusion that the most sustainable way to do this is through projects, but you are unsure of how to really take advantage of this methodology.

Your worries are over! There are simple adjustments you can implement to make whatever material you have more student-centered, more captivating, and more powerful.

We’re going to look at how we can easily reorganize activities to make sure to include critical thinking, higher-order level thinking questions, the growth mindset, and stronger student agency, among many other positive aspects of project-based learning. Are you ready?!
