Asset (Project) Based Learning
Asset-Based Learning is a unique approach to education that combines the best of project-based learning and service learning. Rather than focusing on a student's deficiencies, this model utilizes an asset-based framework that leverages and strengthens the existing resources within the student's community. By emphasizing the talents and strengths of each student, asset-based learning encourages the development of critical thinking skills and fosters a sense of community engagement.
Keeping students engaged
Instead of short-term memorization and summative regurgitation, project-based learning provides an opportunity for students to engage deeply with the target content, bringing about a focus on long-term retention. PBL also improves student attitudes toward education, thanks to its ability to keep students engaged. The PBL structure lends itself to building intrinsic motivation because it centers student learning around a central question or problem and a meaningful outcome. Students end up wanting to understand the answer or solution as much or more than the teacher wants to know what they know, understand, and are able to do!
