What Homeschoolers Need To Know About Project-Based Learning

PBL is a learning method where children work on a long-term project. They inquire in-depth into a specific topic or question and gain and apply real-world skills as a result.

PBL is not a standalone. It can be added to any curriculum or activity you are presently using. It allows for application and in-depth understanding of concepts in math, language arts, social studies, science, art, and business.

• PBL allows educators to sneak in the learning. Older children prefer this format over worksheets.
• The real-world format allows children to connect the work with day-to-day life. Doing a PBL where you plan a party can connect math skills with what your family is actually doing.
• PBL allows children to learn different skills without the struggle of direct instruction.
• PBL work for special needs children. You can give your child as much or as little help as you need to on the project.
