Project Based Learning

In Project Based Learning (PBL), teachers make learning come alive for students. 

Students work on a project over an extended period of time – from a week up to a semester – that engages them in solving a real-world problem or answering a complex question. They demonstrate their knowledge and skills by developing a public product or presentation for a real audience.

As a result, students develop deep content knowledge as well as critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills in the context of doing an authentic, meaningful project. Project Based Learning unleashes a contagious, creative energy among students and teachers.

At Winterboro, PBL in embedded into each of our classrooms, content areas and grade levels. Our teachers work together to develop cross curricular projects that allow students to solve real world problems, while also learning their specific classroom content along the way.
