Reading Reflection 11

The project based learning approach allows teachers and students to work collaboratively to solve a problem, rather then a teacher lecturing on how to. PBL closely relates the learning that is taking place inside of a classroom to the real world, which gives the students a stake in their own education. If students feel that what they are doing is important, they will care about the outcome of the project because, it matters! PBL is beneficial to students and teachers, but to parents and guardians as well. PBL teaches children to be community members as well as learning 21^st century skills that will help them be successful later on in their education and in life. Concepts in the chapter relate to our topic because it truly focuses on celebrating a project, and what better way to celebrate then a successful event and smiles on all of the participant’s faces!  Our students will have learned so many skills that will transfer to other aspects of learning including collaboration, teamwork, persistence, organization, dedication, and what it takes to work towards a common goal.
