Work that Matters

18th October 2012

Written by Alec Patton and published by the Innovation Unit, this is a brilliant teacher’s guide to Project Based Learning and how to do it well.

Here’s a link to the PDF incase it disappears from the innovation unit website

Champions

6th October 2012

Our champions are people who champion experiential project based learning, and especially those who are getting it going in the UK.

We admire their work and they are our heroes.

Soldiers in the battle to provide a world class education for our children.

We salute you!

 

Disclaimer: Our champions aren’t necessarily officially associated with XP. and they don’t necessarily officially endorse our work. Well, most are and do, but don’t think just because they are our champions and on our website, that they have anything official to do with us. Saying that, I’ve definitely either met them in real life or chatted to them online, and they all seem great, and a lot I can call friends, but you know what I mean! This is a disclaimer, after all…
