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
