My Project

I'm looking to expand our project adventure unit in physical education. We use project adventure as an opportunity to bring students together and make them think outside the box. Students work collaboratively in groups to solve problems while being creative and understanding there is no correct answer.

Using guided discovery allows students to create their own outcomes and not be afriad to take risks.

Expanding this program would make great progress toward helping students' social and mental health due to the fact that they must work together to accomplish their goals.
