In Education Week, a student from New Leader - led Envision Academy shares how her teachers
draw connections to the real world to make her learning deeper and more meaningful.
Once we had the project we were then able
to draw upon community resources such as Urban Planning lecturers from our local university, Project Managers and Urban Planners (two of whom were female)
to provide the girls with insight into these careers and use their expert knowledge.I think the
connection to a
real world application and using a problem based learning pedagogy has been very important.
