Stop struggling. Go with depth. It’s the only way to engage students in the present and to prepare them for their futures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Transforming the Graduate 19\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEverything maps backward from a redefinition of what it means to graduate from high school.

We explain what this means, why it’s vital, and how to work toward this challenging but transformative goal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Project-Based Learning—It’s the How (and the Why) 65\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLearning is deepest when it culminates in an act of creation. As we walk through an example project, we show how PBL is the most effective and efficient means to our ends: preparing students for rigorous performance assessments, meeting state standards, and, most important, making learning matter to students.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Transforming School Culture 101\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTransforming the lives of students requires a culture that believes it’s possible.
