Learning Guide
The Project Learning Guide encourages students to stretch their thinking in more creative, divergent ways to solve problems, and create new ideas. By providing hands-on and experiential learning opportunities, the Learning Guide helps foster a lifelong learning mentality. Entrepreneurial skills will begin to grow at the elementary school level and continue into adulthood.
Many of the activities in this Guide give the students opportunities for brainstorming. This is simply a way to accomplish divergent thinking (coming up with many possibilities) rather than convergent thinking (finding the one right
answer).
