Evaluation Outcomes

Technology Changes Teaching
Enhanced Anchored Instruction Enhances Teaching
Project Based Learning Enhances Teaching
Throughout the school year students consistently reported learning better and remembering more when engaged in hands-on projects as compared to using a textbook.
- "We learned how to use manipulatives and that has been really important and has changed my teaching. I used to be drill and kill and I now enjoy learning and using manipulatives and investing time in doing that. Some times it takes more prep but it beats the drilling and having youth parrot that back . . . I have really started doing it [projects] this year."
- "Students were engaged and excited about the learning in the process. The hands on instruction challenged them and I saw a great difference from this years’ performance as opposed to last year. Students were excited and participated. I have other ideas to continue with [more hands on] projects. Such as building a bird house, designing a quilt, building an airplane, etc."
