A new instructional approach TEACHER: An active mentor and collaborator in the learning process PROJECT Project Based Learning I know why I’m learning this and I care about it, too.

I feel like my classmates understand me and we’re working towards a common goal. I’ve hit an obstacle that I need help to overcome.

The reaction of biz leaders—several have told us that they would hire these kids right out of high school – they are more prepared than many of the college graduates they see. The story of how a community was able to lure a new company to locate within its borders, partly as a result of New Tech’s presence.
