Making Project-Based Learning Easier to See and Share

Project Snapshot Template

Most school leaders believe in project-based learning. The challenge is not the quality of the work happening in classrooms. It is how to clearly and consistently share that work with families, boards, and prospective school communities.

In a recent episode of the CheckBox Pro Series, Missy spoke with Dr. Josh Pinto Taylor, Co-Founder and Executive Director of The Anchor School in Atlanta. The conversation offered a clear picture of what strong project-based learning looks like when it is designed with purpose, real audiences, and meaningful outcomes for students.

We leaned on The Anchor School’s examples with project-based and place-based learning to create a Project Snapshot Template that helps school leaders clearly highlight student work. The goal is simple: give schools an easy, visual way to share the powerful learning already happening in their classrooms and make project-based learning easier for everyone to see and understand.

Before downloading the template, take a moment to explore how The Anchor School uses Project Image Cards to clearly showcase project-based learning across grade levels and subjects. These examples highlight how driving questions, authentic audiences, and real student outcomes can be communicated in a simple, visual format that families and school communities immediately understand.
