Sounds good, but what about curriculum and standards?

Although class time is organized differently for project-based learning, it is still very structured.
Projects are designed around core curricular objectives and are aligned with goals from the North Carolina Standard Course of Study.

What will students gain from project-based learning?
![Page 8: Project-Based Learning in the English Classroom. Why are we studying this junk? When am I ever going to use it in real life? Sound familiar?](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e625503460f94b5e7bf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Research indicates that with project-based learning:
Students are more engaged and interested in learning the content because it relates to their lives.
Students understand what they are learning at a deeper level because they are actually using concepts and skills in meaningful ways.
By working with peers and others in the community, students learn important collaboration skills that they will need in their adult lives.
Students develop important self-management skills, such as time management, planning, and self-assessing.
