Connecting Project-Based Learning to Social Justice Issues
Connecting Project-Based Learning to Social Justice Issues
Project-Based Learning (PBL) challenges students to critically think about a real-life issue that directly affects them (or someone they know), motivates them to grapple with solutions to this authentic problem, and offers a myriad of ways for students to express their ideas on this relevant matter (Monreal, 2015). Through collaborative projects like surveys, anti-cyberbullying policies, and PSA videos, secondary school students are able to creatively communicate their solutions to this very real concern.
