5. At the core is a student centered,
project and problem based
teaching strategy that is tied to
both content standards and school
wide learning outcomes.

6. Project- and Problem-Based Learning
Keys to 21st Century Learning
teachers start each unit by throwing students into a realistic or real-world project that both
engages interest and generates a list of things the student need to know. Projects are designed
to tackle complex problems, requiring critical thinking. New Tech’s strategy is simple:
• To learn collaboration, work in teams.
• To learn critical thinking, take on complex problems.
• To learn oral communication, present.
• To learn written communication, write.
• To learn technology, use technology.
• To develop citizenship, take on civic and global issues.
• To learn about careers, do internships.
• To learn content, research and do all of the above.

7. Each unit begins when students are presented
with a complex, standards-based problem
Students form a team, develop a
work contract and build a work plan

8. Students get to work!
Students are provided an online briefcase specific
to the project with information, resources, links
and assessment criteria that help guide them.

9. Students Need To Know
Student questions and “need to knows” drive classroom
lectures and activities. Sometimes for the whole class …
sometime for just one student

10. Students experiment and apply learning
Students test their ideas and experiment to find
solutions and breakthroughs while receiving
ongoing feedback from instructors.

11. Students get back to work!
Students work and collaborate in a business-like
environment, where they know their deliverables
and have the technology tools to do their jobs.

12. Students prepare to present
Students work on building presentations to repre-
sent their work and defend their solutions

13. Students present their solutions!
Students present ideas through debates, skits, panels,
presentations, etc… where their work is evaluated by peers,
teachers, parents, and community
