INNOVATIVE LEARNING APPROACHES

Project-Based Learning and the National Curriculum

We place emotional wellbeing and happiness at the centre of our practice and believe that this is the key to promoting a positive engagement with learning. We are committed to a holistic approach that incorporates curriculum, therapies, life skills and home life.

At Gesher, we recognise that the world works in projects, and therefore why we have adopted a Project-Based Learning pedagogical approach to our curriculum as the best way to prepare our young people for the world beyond school. Through engaging in rigorous and authentic learning experiences, students’ interests and passions are at the heart of the learning, combining skills and rigorous knowledge learning whilst empowering them with a set of lifelong skills and experiences to draw on.

Through the project-based learning process, students collaborate to use knowledge, skills and feedback to continually develop and improve their work, which is then presented to an authentic audience at an exhibition. Students document their work in a portfolio and formally reflect on their learning during the project and at the end.
