Project Based Learning: An Intro for Families

At Mann STEAM Academy, Project-Based Learning (PBL) is used across all subjects to help students connect what they’re learning to real-world experiences. PBL gives students opportunities to collaborate, solve problems, think creatively, communicate their ideas, and take ownership of their learning. This short article from PBLWorks gives a great overview of what PBL looks like and why it matters for students. We encourage families to take a few minutes to check it out!
