The document discusses project-based learning approaches that integrate 21st century skills. It outlines how projects allow students to develop in-depth knowledge on a topic, use critical thinking, make real-world connections, and demonstrate understanding through products. Effective projects are standards-driven, develop 21st century skills, focus on important questions, include ongoing assessment, and engage students through varied instructional strategies that meet varying student needs and abilities. Instructional approaches for project-based learning are student-centered and include students acting as choosers, designers, discoverers, collaborators using multiple sources of information and 21st century skills to make real-world connections.
