Family & Community Project-Based Learning

Project-based learning is an instructional method that engages the learner in developing inquiry and critical thinking skills about a particular topic. Including families and the community is critical to providing a multicultural learning experience that is applicable and relevant. One way to do this is through project based learning (PBL) where students engage in critical thinking to address real world issues that face their community. This provides an opportunity for students to create meaningful connections between culture, community, and themselves. In this assignment, you will have the opportunity to create a project using this approach.
