San Jose School Bets Its Future on Project-Based Learning

It used to be that teachers stood at the front of class, and students did most of their work independently, at their desks. But there's a new push in California public schools to get students learning from each other through creative and challenging hands-on activities. It's called project-based learning. Yesterday, we met a teacher who's blazing a trail at Benicia Unified, north of Oakland. Today we head to San Jose, where an entire school is betting its academic future on this approach.
