Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an instructional approach where students learn by actively engaging in real-world, meaningful projects. This approach offers several benefits to students such as active engagement. Students become problem solvers and critical thinkers by working on projects, rather than just passively receiving information through lectures. With these materials students are able to collaborate throughout these project.

Students typically work in teams or groups in PBL, which helps develop their collaborative skills.

They learn how to communicate effectively, share responsibilities, and work as part of a team. My goal is to help students develop skills and qualities that are highly valued in the workplace, such as problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and adaptability.
