This document provides guidance on facilitating independent student projects known as Type III projects. It suggests that teachers take a supportive role by helping students plan goals, set requirements, navigate real-world processes, and define audiences, while allowing students to think and work like professionals. For students, Type III projects involve independently investigating a real problem, contributing creatively to a field, and synthesizing knowledge to create a product for an authentic audience, with the teacher primarily assessing outcomes. The document emphasizes that both teachers and students have important but distinct roles to play in implementing this approach to learning.
