Project Based Learning Initiative

I would like to take this opportunity to share with you some additional information about Project Based Learning (PBL), which is a brand new program at The OLC School and Little Harbor Academy. PBL is designed to complement OLC/LHA's mathematics program and current initiatives, such as First in Math and Collaborative and Innovative Mathematics Classrooms.

PBL consists of research-based teaching that supplements everyday classroom learning. During PBL, students immerse themselves in mathematical applications and extensions that span multiple skills, concepts, and career-readiness competencies. These new recommendations and others are promulgated in the Common Core State Standards, particularly the Mathematical Practices, which The OLC School began implementing in 2011.
