Rigorous Project-Based Learning Is a Powerful Lever for Improving Equity. Research Brief. Rigorous Project-Based Learning: An Inquiry-Based Educational Approach
Lucas Education Research, George Lucas Educational Foundation
Persistent disparities in opportunities to learn between students from different socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic backgrounds serve as stark reminders that our schools, which reflect what is happening in society, are not meeting the needs of all youth equally well. Furthermore, inequitable approaches to funding and resource allocation in education have led to opportunity gaps related to career and college pathways, curricular offerings, and access to rigorous and engaging student-centered approaches like project-based learning (PBL).
