How Roeper Teachers Apply Innovative Teaching Methods

Project-based learning starts with a problem to solve or a question to answer. This approach allows students to build relevant skills and knowledge through hands-on tasks. Evidence shows that students are more engaged and retain information better because what they learn is directly connected to the challenges they face.

Gifted students, with their natural curiosity and interest in complex problems, thrive in a PBL environment. They take ownership of their learning, exploring aspects of projects that align with their interests and demonstrating their knowledge in creative ways. This process not only enhances their understanding but also builds crucial skills like research, communication, and collaboration.

At Roeper, we empower our educators to innovate and create meaningful learning experiences. Here is an article published in Metro Parent magazine highlighting Roeper’s approach to PBL. Teacher Wendy Mayer and I had the opportunity to share insights into our dynamic learning methods with author Claire Charlton.
