Project learning exists on a continuum ranging from traditional classroom projects to authentic project-learning experiences. Students master core standards through deep, authentic inquiry that "sticks" better than rote memorization.
Project learning is authentic and relevant when it connects to the larger community-learning ecosystem beyond school walls. Stronger local partnerships and access to "real-world" experts improve your school without the need for new budget line-items.
Project learning works best when it is relevant to students and the curriculum. Relevance leads to improved student attendance, agency, and teacher satisfaction by restoring the "joy of discovery" to the classroom.
“Albuquerque Public Schools would recommend Project ARC to other school districts without reservation. The entire experience of working with Project ARC was very satisfactory, including the successful execution of the contract, the professional delivery of content, the ease of communication and efficiency of processing financial transactions, the in-depth coaching and training that was personally tailored to the needs of the schools, and the excellent content provided.”
