mind when you think of a meaningful
learning experience you’ve had?

REAL Project?
Rigorous
Engaging
Authentic
Learning
![Page 6: Applying the High Tech High Approach in the UK | Whole Education Annual Conference 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052821/55494e02b4c905fc4e8b46f8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Rigorous-students demonstrate
depth of knowledge
Rigorous - rigorous in design
● they are tuned by other teachers and refined
● they are tried out by the teacher first
● students are assessed for: ○ their content learning
○ the quality of the process
○ their skills development as well as the final product

Engaging
Engaging
• Insisting that what students do in school has
purpose, and will be exhibited to an
audience
• Subject content is relevant, connected, and
useful to the task in hand
• The essential question and the product drive
student learning
• Enables the use of technologies, locations,
expertise and practical methods to achieve
deep learning

Authentic
Authentic
• Projects, driving questions, and products
must have validity in the real world, not just
‘for the sake of it’ in school
• Students take on the role of a professional in
the real world
![Page 9: Applying the High Tech High Approach in the UK | Whole Education Annual Conference 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052821/55494e02b4c905fc4e8b46f8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Learning-Students are making links
between content and skills
Learning
● Learning through REAL Projects, not
Teaching through REAL Projects.
● Learning is driven primarily by the essential
question and the creation of a product,
● REAL Projects are not about teachers
making links between areas of teaching, but
about students being allowed to make links
between areas of learning.

What is the difference between
doing a project and REAL Projects?
A project is done at the end of
a unit. It requires little to no
knowledge from the
unit to complete the project.
Ex: Students study a
civilization and make an
artifact from that civilization at
the end.
In PBL, the project is
introduced on the first day of
a unit. All of the learning
within the unit is essential to
complete the final project.
Ex: students create their own
civilization after studying the
key elements of a civilization
and looking at examples
through history
