Project-Based Learning in the Classroom

In this video, Dr. Dickers explains how to effectively implement project-based learning using Portals in micro schools, co-ops, or hybrid settings. Unlike traditional models focused on tests and memorization, Portals encourages hands-on, literature-based learning with daily project ideas. Teachers are guided to minimize lecture time and instead engage students through active projects and one-on-one conversations. By shifting from “sage on the stage” to “guide on the side,” educators foster deeper understanding, creativity, and critical thinking—making learning more meaningful and student-driven.
