Catch a Fire: Fuelling Inquiry and Passion Through Project-Based Learning - Paperback

by Matt Henderson (Editor), Brian O'Leary (Foreword by), Theresa Armstrong (Author)

This book will inspire, challenge and engage you--and transform your teaching and learning.

Each chapter in this book is written by a different educator or team about their experiences with project-based learning, both in and out of the classroom. They reflect not only on the how of project-based learning, but more importantly, on the what and the why. They offer insight into how connecting with learners, honouring their experiences, and promoting deep and rich questioning can be the path to powerful projects and learning. Their writing and thinking is saturated with empathy, expertise, a desire to improve their practice, and an acknowledgment of the need to collaborate.
