Project-Based Learning For the next
installment in our occasional series on alternative education
styles we look at West Sacramento Early College Prep Charter
School and its use of project-based learning. This style of
education emphasizes student collaboration and the teacher serves
as more of a facilitator to learning rather than an
instructor. To learn more about project-based learning we're
speaking with two teachers from West Sac Prep and a professor who
teaches this style to future educators at Sacramento State
University.
