Project Based Learning is taught at Meadow View. Project-based learning is a
dynamic classroom approach in which students actively explore real-world
problems and challenges and acquire a deeper knowledge.
A+ opened the door to 21st century learning at Meadow View. It taught the
staff to try different ways to deliver instruction and assessment to the
students. The A+ schools program is a whole-school reform model that
view the arts as fundamental to teaching and
learning in all subjects. A+ schools combine
interdisciplinary teaching and daily art instruction,
offering children opportunities to develop creative,
innovative ways of thinking, learning and showing
what they know. In A+ schools teaching the state’s
mandated curriculum involves a collaborative, many-
disciplined approach, with the arts continuously
woven into every aspect of a child’s learning.
