Description
Transforming Schools Using Project-Based Learning, Performance Assessment, and Common Core Standards by Bob Lenz, Justin Wells, and Sally Kingston explores how schools can adopt deeper learning approaches to better prepare students for college and careers. The authors draw on the experience of leading schools that have successfully transitioned from traditional teaching methods to project-based learning, highlighting its benefits in terms of student engagement and performance assessment alignment with Common Core standards. This book provides practical guidance for implementing these strategies, including a step-by-step game plan and resources such as companion DVDs and websites. By shifting the focus from knowledge to application, schools can create a more effective learning environment that meets the needs of all stakeholders, from students to superintendents.
