S1 EP19 - Project Based Learning and Student Engagement

Students clearly express that they want to see themselves in what they learn. For this episode, Andrea Gill joins us to share some of the student led projects that have taken place in her schools. By fostering student voice in schools, student interest and goals are centred in their learning. Student census data alongside qualitative data, supports initiatives in learning that reflect student identity, lived experiences and community funds of knowledge.

Project-based learning increases engagement in students as they are in the drivers’ seat for their learning, with the educator serving as a mentor who scaffolds tasks and provides feedback. This model of teaching increases collaboration across the school fostering interconnection, increasing community-based school model and inter-peer coaching, mentorship and leadership. This is an exciting and engaging conversation to have and Andrea looks forward to sharing it.
