c.Project- and Problem-Based LearningKeys to 21st Century Learning
Teachers start each unit by throwing students into a realistic or real-world project that both engages interest and generates a list of things the student need to know. Projects are designed to tackle complex problems, requiring critical thinking. The strategy for 21st Century Learning is simple:
− To learn collaboration, work in teams.
− To learn critical thinking, take on complex problems.
− To learn oral communication, present.
− To learn written communication, write.
− To learn technology, use technology
− To develop citizenship, take on civic and global issues.
− To learn about careers, do internships.
− To learn content, research and do all of the above.

PBL Examples
1. President’s Dilemma
2. Moongames -- Students are commissioned by TOYCO and NASA to create or modify games played on earth to work on Lunar colonies. Using Newton’s three laws and a lot of math, students consider issues like the height of a basketball hoop in low gravity conditions.

Assessment
The project drives the curriculum by creating a need for the students to know the content.
Students work more autonomously on real or realistic work that has high stakes. Evaluation is made more authentic with performance based measurements and is often conducted with the
help of non-teachers.
