In today’s changing world, students need to be fluent in a different set of skills than in the past in order to lead successful adult lives. In response, public schools across the country are reinventing themselves into models of 21st century learning. Some schools are choosing to make the shift from traditional classrooms to problem-based learning centers.
What is problem based learning and how well do students adjust to such a change in their learning environment? Sammamish High School in Washington serves as a case study in making this transition which has been underway since 2011. Early feedback from Sammamish students is notable.
