I took a course in Project-Based Learning from Edvisions and loved it. I am looking for a school that is using a this approach to teaching, with very little success so far. I just found "Make Your Own Project-Based Lesson Plan" (instructions based on the five-concept template created by Leecy Wise for Star School teachers, Cortez, CO). Through a search of Schools in Cortez I came to your school. Are you hiring for fall of 2011? I have a K-8 in New Mexico and will have a K-12 license if I take one more course this summer, and this will probably transfer to Colorado. I have been a substitute teacher for several years, while searching for the right school to teach in.
Sincerely,
Sandra Wolf
