| Description | You can't tear students at Newsome Park Elementary School away from their schoolwork when it involves in-depth investigations with real-world applications. At Newsome Park Elementary School, in Newport News, Virginia, where projects dominate classroom work, learning takes twists and turns rarely possible in a more traditional, fixed-curriculum setting. Learning by conceiving and completing projects, advocates say, is far superior to the often-dreary textbook-based lessons that stay planted in the mind only until the next test.At Newsome Park, which has a population of about 40 percent white students and 52 percent black students, and where 58 percent of students are from low-income households, test scores are up for the third year in a row, the state's Standards of Learning (SOLs) are being met, and enthusiastic kids are using what they learn time and again. |
