In the 2019 survey of Elkhart County Project-Based Learning (PBL) students, 88% of students agreed or strongly agreed that “My participation in project-based learning helped me see the connection between classroom learning and the business world.”

82% of local teachers felt PBL was an effective or very effective strategy for developing students’ ability to think creatively. 88% felt that PBL was effective or very effective for overall “soft skills” development in students- e.g., behavior, attitude, motivation, communication.

PBL is a teaching method where students gain knowledge and skills by investigating and responding to an authentic, engaging, and complex question, problem, or challenge. In Elkhart County, PBL is also "Industry-Infused", meaning local industry sectors partner with educators all year long to bring relevancy into the classroom projects. Wes Herschberger, CEO of Mapletronics in Goshen, talks about the outcomes for industry in this video. #PBL #ElkhartCountyEducation
