A project-based learning portfolio is one of the most powerful tools for capturing the full story of student growth. It’s more than a binder or digital folder; it’s a living collection of a student’s ideas, drafts, reflections, feedback, revisions, photos, and final products. Enter to learn more!
 Personalizing learning doesn’t have to mean creating 30 different lesson plans for 30 different students.

My classroom teaching experience is with high school life science students at a small charter school. I am now home with my own young kids and use the same principles of experiential learning with them as I did with my secondary students.
