I teach the standardized level course for my school, and I have never had teaching experience outside of this level. Project-based learning has been a wonderful opportunity for my students. In fact, every year, I always plan more than I did the year before. I would like to say that my students are successful on the standardized tests. Even if they don't reach proficiency, I have been able to document that some of my lowest achieving students excel multiple points. Standardized exams should be skills-oriented exams (as the ACT is). Project-based learning supports skills use and seems to me to be a more effective way to teach SOME skills rather other pedagogies (i.e. writing).
