Project Based Learning - September 2023

  • Students at Jacobson study United Nations 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development. Project-based, authentic learning has taken over the JPG (Jacobson Gifted Program)!  Learners in grades 3, 4, 5 and 6 studied the United Nations Global Goals, then wrote down their top three choices. Scholars were paired together based on their passion or interest level of the global goal. Partners or small teams then researched together to find out more about their assigned global goal, creating a final showcase project that was shared with the whole school.  Besides researching, writing, and drawing, this project required learners to collaborate with each other and share their findings and ideas.  Scholars also had to manage their time so that their posters were finished for presentations.  Their overall work was impressive!
