Foreword by Bob Pearlman. Translate standards-based content in one subject area or across several into enriched learning projects that build 21st century skills. A valuable tool for teachers, this book draws from the 21st Century Enriched Learning School model designed to meet standards and develop skills in communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and global and cross-cultural awareness.

Explore 21st century skills in the context of project learning. Discover e-tools that can enhance projects. Learn research-based, high-yield instructional strategies that are engaging for all students, especially those who do not respond to repetitive drills and worksheets.

Improve your project planning with a method that emphasizes outcomes over means. A model rubric walks you through this five-step “backwards planning” process. Sample projects and a template offer additional guidance in translating traditional content into enriched learning experiences.
