“How do teachers’ passions and interests become transformational projects?”

This study examines the role of teachers’ passions and interests within interdisciplinary project-based curriculum design at a newly established, project-based primary and middle school setting. The goal is to engage with the current faculty and students at High Tech Elementary School and Middle School to discover how teachers draw upon their passions and interests to design curriculum and create projects that go beyond the classroom and engage students in meaningful and transformational learning.
