Assessment
A New and Streamlined Way to Assess
Project based learning has many benefits. To assess students work can be less time consuming & more successful when you base your rubric on targeted skills.
Project Based Learning
Project Based Learning (also known as PBL), is an approach that connects inquiry, solving real-world problems and meaningful hands-on experiences. This is a perfect opportunity to integrate the arts! But be careful - there's more to this than just fun projects. In this comprehensive area, you'll find everything you need to connect PBL and the arts with integrity. Want to learn more? Try our Project Based Learning in the Arts online class in our Accelerator membership and build a PBL lesson while getting 25 PD hours.
