Letter to Teachers
Project-based learning changed my life. In middle school, I was fortunate enough to attend a charter school in which textbooks, standardized tests, and homework were no where to be found. Instead, Horizon Charter School in Chandler, Arizona believed in blending cross-curriculum learning opportunities through project-based instruction. Although every team project that we did was incredibly fun, it was packed with teachable moments. I have created this resource guide as a means to replicate the same approach, to create projects that blend multiple subjects in a fun, meaningful process. The project modules found within this website are aimed at environmental science teachers that want to incorporate a visual art component to their curriculum. The Module Maker is set up so that, depending on ones data input, a unique project list will be generated. The whole scope of this professional project is to offer educators a fresh approach to teaching science while blending other college readiness, and life skills into the process. I hope you enjoy the project guides!
