A project is an activity in which a student chooses a subject related to the school subject curriculum and considers his / her age, comprehension, surroundings and readily available project materials to achieve further objectives.

                                                                                                                                                                                                         Projects are an easy way to integrate literacy and creativity into learning and assessment. Projects are inherently flexible, including personal or group work. Projects are optional assignments that will help improve student grades.

The old-school model of passively learning facts and reciting them out of context is no longer sufficient to prepare students to survive in today’s world. Solving highly complex problems requires that students have both fundamental skills (reading, writing, and math) and 21st century skills (teamwork, problem solving, research gathering, time management, information synthesizing, utilizing high tech tools). With this combination of skills, students become directors and managers of their learning process, guided and mentored by a skilled teacher.

                                                                                                                                                                                                               For Parents

As you know, school projects are not just assignments for the student. It is an opportunity for the parent, to come alongside your student and teach and refine his or her skills.

It is a time that you can be intentional as you coach and give advice. You do not complete the project.

You guide and teach in a one-on-one environment that cannot be simulated in a school setting.

It gives you the opportunity to hone in on areas that you may see needs strengthening in your child.

As the primary educator, a project-based learning activity at home gives you a wonderful opportunity to build relevant skills and habits for future day-to-day living because real, adult life is filled with one project after another.

So the next time your child brings home a project assignment, take on a new outlook by remembering these four things: 

1.      Your child not only is expanding his or her knowledge of a particular topic but also is developing and learning how to                 *        research, manage time, persevere, be creative, critically think, follow directions, and more!

2.      He or she needs you as a coach, but you are not the player.

3.     Projects give you and your child the opportunity for meaningful conversation and time together.

4.      Your child is building skills that he or she will apply and build on in the future, both as a student and as an adult.

SCHOOL PROJECTS CAN GIVE THE GIFTED CHILD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DIVE DEEPER AND CHALLENGE THEMSELVES IN AN ACADEMIC AREA WHILE ALSO ALLOWING THE STUDENT THAT STRUGGLES WITH WRITTEN TESTS TO REVEAL THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE IN A HANDS-ON, CREATIVE WAY.”
