An accomplished educator, Kimberly L. Winters holds a bachelor of arts in English and a magna cum laude master of science in education from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. One of Kimberly L. Winters’ specific areas of expertise is project based learning (PBL).
Briefly defined, project based learning is a pedagogical method that strives to teach through engagement in practical, real world projects that have personal meaning to students. Designed to solve an actual problem or answer an important complicated question, these projects typically occur over a substantial period of time and may take an entire school term to complete.
PBL retains student interest while allowing students to learn about multiple subjects at the same time. It often involves extensive research and reporting using the latest 21st-century modalities. Proponents of PBL praise its ability to keep students actively engaged. PBL also promotes creative thinking, fruitful collaboration, and improved communication skills.
