Project-Based Learning (PBL)

Project-Based Learning is a dynamic and fluid approach to learning that is perfect for teaching students with learning differences such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia.  Students begin with a real-world problem that they must solve through a variety of methods.  The problem is approached from a scientific perspective in science, from a historical perspective in social studies/history, and from a mathematical perspective in math.  Students engage in various exploratory activities related to the topic of study.  Students learn to gather and categorize information, hone their writing skills, and effectively communicate through written and oral presentations. The end goal is for our students to walk away with a deeper understanding of the problem and a deeper knowledge of the subject matter related to current events and issues affecting the world.
