With employers looking for graduates who can communicate effectively, think critically, and solve problems in collaboration with other team members, more and more schools are looking to project-based learning as a way to better prepare students for these demands. Besides helping students develop the same 21st-century skills that employers covet, project-based learning also helps students retain the information they learn, proponents of the approach say--and it engages students' interest and motivates them to learn.
With the generous support of The Alan Sitomer BookJam published by
Recorded Books K-12, eSchool News has assembled a collection of stories from their archives that exemplify how teachers
are implementing project-based learning effectively in their classrooms.
