Athena Academy uses Project Based Learning and Guiding Questions as one of our core teaching methods.
What is Project Based Learning(PBL)?
- Project Based Learning or PBL, is a process for teaching and learning based on inquiry.
- In PBL, students focus on a complex question or problem, then answer the question or solve the problem through a process of investigation, usually over an extended period of time.
- The PBL process goes through a cycle of “Ask, Plan, Learn, Show, and Reflect.” During this cycle, students learn the content, information, and facts that are necessary to draw conclusions about the question. Students also learn valuable skills and habits of mind.
