One teacher in Durham, North Carolina, teaches at a Project Approach School where students perform different inquiry-based projects each year. They analyze relevant social topics, manage research, devise questions, and share their findings with other people. The school’s goal is that they hope students will use the skills they honed to create positive changes in the world.
Amy Lau’s students believe in the mantra that “people can change the world” and they set out to make their own changes by donating books to a charity.
One afternoon, after a brainstorming session, students determined that they had an excessive amount of books in their classrooms. The solution? The group worked to get their surplus titles to children who would benefit from them; they collected books from their classrooms and their own homes for their project. These types of projects force children to ask questions, work in committees, and make relevant changes in the world.
