CMS 6th graders recently visited JA BizTown at the Georgia Southern University Savannah Campus. JA BizTown combines in-class learning (before the field trip) with a day-long visit to a simulated town. This popular learning experience allows students to operate banks, manage restaurants, write checks, and vote for mayor. Students are able to make connections between what they learn in school and the real world. #cmstigers #projectbasedlearning #4Cs

Teachers received Project Based Learning training from Molly Bestge Cultivate 21 CEO. This professional learning opportunity is the result of a $20,000 grant received by Claxton Middle School. Teachers were able to experience a PBL lesson as a participant/student. They played the role of members on an innovation team. Their task was to compete in an idea festival competition. They were challenged to make an existing idea better through iteration, ideation, and redesign. After this experience, teachers created a PBL unit to implement in their classrooms. We appreciate our educators investing in this opportunity, and we are excited about what your learning will bring to our ECCSS students, staff, and community! Participants in the training were Kelsey Stephens (CMS), Shannon Yurek (CMS), Phillip Sapp (CMS), Betty Smith (CMS), Stephanie Myers (CMS), Megan Liberatore (CMS), Jennifer Price (CMS), Lindsay Minis (CES), Ellen Brown (CMS), Kelly LaSala (CES), and Samantha Keyfauver (ECCSS)
