Winters has developed and led a number of project-based learning experiences for cross-curricular assessments. She is certified in both project-based learning, among other credentials.
Project-based learning (PBL) is an educational approach that not only presents students with educational opportunities that relate directly to the world around them, but allows students to engage in subject matter that is personally relevant and meaningful. Projects typically challenge students to resolve a real world issue or answer one of society’s more complex questions, thereby stimulating critical thinking and creative problem solving. Work on a specific project within a PBL classroom environment might last anywhere from one week to an entire semester.
There are a variety of reasons to consider implementing PBL projects. In addition to generating opportunities for critical and creative thinking, PBL encourages students to communicate with one another and collaborate with outside sources as they work together towards a solution.
At www.pblworks.org, educators and students can learn more about the methodology behind PBL teaching. The website also features a number of videos describing actual PBL projects and showing PBL teachers and students in action.

Features of Project-based learning; 1. Student-centered 2. Interdisciplinary ...Future Education Magazine
PBL stands for project-based learning, which is a student-centered pedagogy that incorporates an active classroom approach. The idea behind this method of teaching is that students would gain a more in-depth knowledge via the active investigation of real-world issues and obstacles. Problem/Project-Based Learning in Social Studies
Problem-based Learning engages students in the process of critical thinking in an attempt to analyze and evaluate problems that have no definite response as they were provided a problem with preliminary information only. On the other hand, in Project-based Learning, students are assigned or provided with a complex problem with prospective solutions and exploring opportunities where they are tasked to build a plan and construct a product that addresses the problem after studying the given problem.
An overview of project based learning
Project Based Learning involves students answering complex questions or solving problems through an extended inquiry process. It shifts instruction from teacher-centered to student-centered, with students collaborating on rigorous projects that help them develop key skills while learning academic content. This model makes learning relevant by connecting it to real-world issues and opportunities for students to act as coaches and facilitators for each other. Examples of PBL include constructing board games to showcase content knowledge, making models and diagrams, and creating edible replicas of scientific concepts using everyday objects like food.

This document provides a literature review of project-based learning (PBL) in K-12 educational settings. It summarizes the core principles of PBL, how PBL has been implemented in schools, research on PBL implementation challenges for teachers, and the available evidence on PBL's effectiveness in improving student outcomes.
The review finds that there is no consensus definition of PBL. It identifies areas of debate around PBL principles, such as the role of student choice, collaborative learning, and assessment. It also describes different models for bringing PBL to schools, from externally-developed curricula to teacher-led approaches. Research indicates PBL poses implementation challenges for teachers in changing their roles and classroom practices. Evidence
Project based learning approach a real expereince

Developing learning capacity for teachers
As new learning skills emerge it is necessary for teachers to develop sufficient capacity to develop learning programs that will provide the opportunity for students to develop these critical learning skills. ‘Learning and Literacy for the future: Building capacity Part 2’ by June Wall and Karen Bonanno, published in Scan, Volume 33, Issue 4 in 2014 considers a capacity building approach, through formal and information professional learning experiences, to ensure teachers develop competencies and capacity to help improve learning outcomes and prepare students for the rapidly changing world of work.
A capacity building tool is outlined and explained as a development tool for teachers to develop capabilities for future learning. Reflection and strategic visioning, that includes the development of a personal professional learning plan, is an integral component of the tool and will also be explained in this presentation.

Project-Based Instruction
Project-based learning (PBL) is a unique approach to learning that provides pupils with the opportunity to experience working collaboratively. It also helps students use critical thinking skills to solve real-world problems. This presentation aims at demonstrating how projects can help EFL students improve their language skills by developing a series of outside-the-classroom assignments designed to reach a desire collaborative environment where students can interweave speaking, reading, listening and writing in a fun but constructive manner. By working together students can also recycle, review and retain new information given in class.
Project Based Learning
Project based learning is a dynamic teaching approach where students explore real-world problems. It involves complex tasks based on challenging questions that require students to engage in design, problem-solving and decision making. Well-crafted projects should build on student interests, provide authentic contexts for learning, allow student-led decisions and result in products presented to audiences. Benefits include deeper knowledge through active learning, developing lifelong skills like problem solving, and engaging otherwise disinterested students.
