From December 13 - 15, 2022 TMSA scholars (grades K - 8) diligently and delightfully presented their fall semester 2022 Project Based Learning (PBL) presentations, ranging from mystery books to the American Revolution, to a multitude of audiences including their peers, teachers and parents/guardians.
Project Based Learning, also known as PBL...It is an approach to learning that requires students to answer a real-world question – such as “How can we plan a profitable walk-a-thon to benefit a cause we care about?” or solve a real-world problem such as “What can we do to ensure our school community remains clean and safe?” – and explore it over a period of weeks. Teachers incorporate grade-level instruction into the project, which is designed to meet current academic goals and standards, and students learn content and skills while working collaboratively with their peers, thinking critically about the topic, and probing deeply into the research. At the end, the students’ work is shared publicly with an identified audience.
