Part 1- Learning with Projects
The right project can motivate
anyone to excel.
Learning with responsibility - Responsibility is motivation.
An alternative to academic base education
Classroom environments require students to take an
interest in instructors programs. In high school, there is little
opportunity for students' interest to be recognized or be developed. As
a result, many students, whose interest are out of harmony with the
classroom take no interest in what instructors are trying to do.
CONFLICT! Students then GIVE UP, are labeled failures and are
considered social outcasts.
Project Based Education can offer alternatives that
can redirect rebellious attitudes into productive skills.
The Boy Scouts Eagle Award is based on learning with projects. A
job applicant with an Eagle Scout Award in his résumé is high on the
consideration list.
- Project Based Education
- The concept is based on what interest and motivates the student. Because the
instructor cannot customize lesson plans for each student, he must
implement student responsibility. It becomes the student's responsibility to develop and research
projects and develop a plan of action. The instructor acts as a coach or
facilitator. Instructors take an interest in students' projects instead of
students having to take an interest in topics handed down by administrators.

- Projects and The Self-Educated Man
- When faced with a challenge, man has the power to learn without instructor.
This is how Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and thousands of
other highly successful people became educated.
-
- Natural Learning Environments
- We all start life with a love to learn, we are curious, we will take risk
and try everything, we have no fear. We have a natural desire to explore,
discover and learn about life. There are no barriers in the world of young
adventures. This is nature’s way to motivate us to learn.
-
- Tools of People Who Love to Learn
- People who love to learn do not
depend on classrooms for knowledge; they develop a learning style
that is in harmony with their learning personality. They develop
learning tools that works for them. Learning by doing leads to above
average opportunity and wages.
-
- Learning Without Instructors Self-Education
- It is possible for man to educate himself without
help or support from others. In fact, when we learn the art of
self-education (learning how to learn versus how to be taught) we
will find, if not create, opportunity to find success beyond our
wildest dreams.
