My Project

At our alternative high school, our students often feel disconnected from their learning. One of our goals as a school that uses project-based learning is to give students life-like educational experiences that allow them to work together to problem solve and think critically.

I teach a class in which students work together to solve mysteries and it is back by popular demand!

It has been a big success in the past with high levels of student engagement and lots of reading! I want to add additional mysteries to this course so that students can take the class again.
