My research interest, and my teaching, are in higher education. Edutopia generally publishes information for K-12 education, but I have found some of their posts to be insightful and relevant to higher education.
This new article might interest my academic and educator friends with an interest in experiential learning. "PBL" means Project-Based Learning (and sometimes it means Problem-Based Learning).
From the article:
"Researchers in Michigan show that project-based learning in high-poverty communities can produce statistically significant gains in social studies and informational reading."
