How does project work help students while meeting Virginias Standards of Learning (SOLs)?
It’s extremely valuable for the children because they get to learn about something in depth. Typically, the state standards of learning (SOL) just kind of hit things. They hit the surface of things for children, and there’s a lot of it. But by actually incorporating those SOLs into a project, they actually get depth and breadth, and they become experts in whatever it is they happen to be studying and they actually learn some SOLs along the way.
