Project Based Learning for the Traditional Classroom
Friday June 6, 2025 9:15am - 10:15am CDT
Do you work at a college prep or traditional model school but want to push the envelope a little? ARTIful (Authentic, Relevant, Transferable, and Impactful) teaching by integrating authentic projects into student experiences has the capacity to move students from compliance to genuine interest. You can start small without sacrificing weeks of your class time and see the results of students’ critical thinking skills applied to your content. Authentic projects give students genuine opportunities to practice future ready skills such as cooperation and communication, and they allow students to push their creativity to the limits by creating a virtual museum exhibit for Cahokia Mounds, learning chemistry by creating a food truck business, or discovering energy and circuitry by wiring a basement or presenting to the St. Louis city planners about green energy. Participants of this workshop will learn the basic foundations of ARTIful project learning and how to find an authentic audience, choose a meaningful project, and create an assessment that holds students to your high standards.
