Project-Based Learning.

These sessions help students learn by actively engaging in real-world and personally meaningful projects. "When implemented well, Project Based Learning (PBL) can increase content retention and improve students' attitude toward learning. " (Barron, B 2012).

Project-Based Learning.

Additional Information.

  • Project-based learning can be a technique used in private, small groups, or in a workshop. 

  • PBL is very collaborative and problem-solving-focused. Students are encouraged to take educational risks and think creatively.  

  • PBL has clear goals and guidelines for each component of a project. Students are supported every step of the way.

  • PBL teaches similar topics and standards as traditional learning. The critical difference between conventional learning and PBL is the process of learning and applying knowledge. 

  • PBL utilizes various resources to further knowledge, such as museums, libraries, the internet, and lectures, while providing ample opportunities for guided reflection through discussions and graphic organizers. 

  • Formative assessments are provided along the way to monitor understanding but also to provide students the opportunity to revise their work along the way.

  • Summative assessments are multidimensional. Multidimensional encourages students to evaluate their work against standards while facilitating students to make modifications and redirections.  

Project-Based Learning Fee.

  • Private one-on-one lessons are $60 per hour.

  • Groups of two are $45 per hour.

  • Groups of three are $35 per hour.

  • Groups of four are $30 per hour.

NOTE: There is a one-time $30 PBL fee for material and curriculum. The fee is due to the individualized nature of PBL. I will need to purchase or create an additional curriculum and materials for the final product.
