Delivering curriculum by innovative and creative projects
Project Approach to Delivery
They should be:• industry-relevant to key sector requirements• suit a broad range of learning styles and abilities• meet the needs the modern world of work

What is it?• Project Based Learning is a teaching method in which students
gain knowledge and skills by investigating and responding to a complex question, problem, or challenge
• A learner centred method of delivering teaching that engages students in learning essential knowledge and skills.
• An opportunity for students to broaden learning and employability skills through wider exploration and consideration of a real-world project using carefully designed tasks
Project Approach to Delivery

• develop independent and responsible students
• provides students with genuine evidence for employment
• develops personal skills and attributes
• enhances a student’s social skills, by interaction with the social environment

Opportunity to:
• learn skills relevant for employment
• use practical as well as academic skills
• control the project completion promoting a sense of achievement
• seek interest in different sectors and subjects
• add variety to a program of study
• advertise the work of the individual
Project Approach advantages

• Three Types of Project Approach
– Holistic delivery of complete units within a qualification
– Cross sector delivery for achievement of common modules
– Employer led – vocational project, cross sector mapped to certain but not all qualification learning outcomes.

• Delivering curriculum in a project approach gives a unique opportunity to develop key employability skills such as:- Communication- Presentation- Team work - Engineering skills
• Teaching and Learning is enhanced through the development of skills that can then be applied to assessment tasks
• Mapping to other curriculum areas in Maths, English, ICT and Science will encourage learners to apply skills from these subjects in context:- Preparing a written report for a professional audience- Budgeting and financial control- Application of mathematical and scientific concepts
Project Approach Holistic Curriculum Delivery
