District 51 has started to implement a Project Based Learning (PBL) model into our schools which is called District 51 Learning Systems. Here is a description on PBL from our District Website:

In 7th grade ELA this quarter we are going to implement our first PBL project for our students that will be based on our anchor text: The Wednesday Wars. Students will have over a dozen projects to choose from and they will have access to technology and class time to work on it at least once a week. Some projects will need more “materials” to complete, so please be discussing this with your child to make sure they will have access to whatever materials are needed to complete their projects to a high quality.
