All About JAG

  • The JAG Classroom utilizes a learner centered instructional approach of project based learning (PBL). Learners build new knowledge from existing knowledge structures through social educational experiences and interactions.  PBL transforms students by inspiring them to think differently about themselves as learners, collaborators, and leaders. Student Voice and Choice gives students ownership of their learning. Authenticity/Real World Experience gives JAG students relevance, buy in, and motivation. The JAG PBL classroom creates high levels of engagement in students.
