How can I effectively engage students in project-based learning?

Engaging students in project-based learning (PBL) involves creating meaningful projects that connect to their interests. What age group are you working with?

I'm working with high school students. Any specific strategies?

For high school students, consider incorporating real-world problems and allowing them to choose their projects. This autonomy boosts engagement.

What types of projects would resonate with them?

Projects that relate to current events, technology, or community issues often resonate well. You could also involve local businesses for collaboration.

How do I assess their learning during these projects?

Use formative assessments like peer reviews, self-assessments, and presentations to gauge their understanding throughout the project.
