Dear Parents,
At New Prospect we are constantly looking for ways to improve our instruction and make it meaningful for the students so they can relate learning to their world. This helps students continue to learn as they are constantly relating what they are learning in school to real world situations. Learning is a continual process, not only for the students but for teachers as well.
New Prospect’s School Governance Council is currently working on ways to effectively implement the Project Based Learning (PBL) element of our Strategic Plan. One way they intend to do so is by investing in training for teachers in PBL from the Buck Institute for Education. Part of this investment is asking for a Request for Flexibility (RFF) for the 2016-2017 school year to have 4 full release days where students will not attend school so that the teachers may participate in this highly effective and recommended training. More details about the RFF and the full release days will be communicated at a later date, but at this time, the SGC has prepared a brochure for our school community to provide information about PBL and the Buck Institute.

I have attached a brochure explaining Project Based Learning in more detail.
