About this title

Synopsis

Wanted for the global workforce: thinkers (and those who can teach them)

Where K-12 instruction once centered on content and memorization, today’s educators want, most of all, to teach their students to think critically and perceptively. What better way than with project-based learning (PBL)? Author Todd Stanley provides a teacher-friendly, step-by-step approach to implementing PBL, showing readers how to:

• Use project and classroom management skills to create a positive, productive learning environment
• Develop curriculum around ten different project types
• Link projects with today’s standards
• Teach students how to effectively collaborate and bring out the best in each other
