Muddy Creek Charter School A Place-Based, Project-Based, Multiage Elementary School

Place-Based Education Place-based education immerses students in local heritage, culture, landscapes, opportunities, and experiences as a foundation for the study of language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, and other subjects.

Place-Based Education Teachers and students use the schoolyard, community, public lands, and other special places as resources, turning communities into classrooms.

Place-Based Education fosters students’ connection to place creates partnerships between schools and communities boosts student achievement helps students learn to take care of the world by understanding where they live, and taking action in their own backyards and communities.

Project-Based Learning Moves away from classroom practices of short, isolated, teacher-centered lessons. Emphasizes learning activities that are long-term, interdisciplinary, student- centered, and integrated with real world issues.

The Three Phases of a Project Phase 1 deciding on general topic to be investigated, checking prior knowledge, developing questions, making predictions, planning for study Phase 2 collecting data to answer questions (surveys, interviews, site visits, research) Phase 3 examine, reflect, and present what has been discovered during investigation

Project-Based Learning Components curricular content - standards-based, supports content learning in both process and product multimedia - use various technologies in planning, development and presentation student direction - maximize student decision-making

Project-Based Learning Components collaboration - among students, student/teacher, students and community real-world connection - relevant to students extended time frame - opportunities to plan, revise, and reflect on learning

Multiage Classrooms modeling for youngers empathy and kindness increase collaboration, decrease competition differentiated instruction improved social skills natural development of leadership skills more like the real world learning is more continuous focus on the whole child deeper relationships help build confidence and security
