Authentic Project-Based Learning in Grades 9–12
Authentic Project-Based Learning in Grades 9–12 provides a clear guide to design, develop, and implement real-world challenges for any high school subject. The author lays out five clear, standards-based stages of assessment to help you and your learners process the what, how, and why of authentic project-based experiences.
You’ll learn how to create projects that:
- Align with your content standards
- Integrate technology effectively
- Support reading and writing development
- Utilize formative assessment
- Allow for multiple complex pathways to emerge
- Facilitate the development of essential skills beyond school
Each chapter includes a variety of practical examples to assist with scaffolding and implementation. The templates and tools in the appendix are also provided on our website as free eResources for ease of use.
