Project-Based Learning.

"Imagine what a classroom would look and sound like when students are actively engaged in inquiry work, where they are reading, talking, questioning, analyzing and creating products, in large groups, small groups, independently - toward the goal of demonstrating their learning based on self-selected compelling questions and topics" (NYC Department of Education, 7).
