A Teacher's Guide to Project-Based Learning

Projects are powerful learning tools, and this guide introduces teachers to the principles of project-based learning. It includes profiles of 13 different types of projects, a step-by-step planning guide, an annotated list of references and resources, descriptions of actual student projects, and comments from teachers who have employed project-based learning techniques. Because projects often cross disciplinary boundaries, teachers may also be interested in Dissolving the Boundaries, a companion volume that offers research-based methods for introducing interdisciplinary teamed instruction.
