"With this book as your guide, you can build kids' proficiency in oral and written communication, promote social and emotional learning (SEL), and differentiate instruction--all while students work toward achieving curriculum standards. This practical and unique resource presents classroom-tested projects, called 'openings,' in core curricular areas. Students research topics and present what they have learned to their peers, forming the foundation of a kids-teaching-kids approach to differentiated, project-based learning."--Pg.[4] of cover.
