April Smith is a teacher, blogger, and advocate for hands-on teaching methods. She began using project-based learning in her classroom in 2011. As she learned more about the methods, she began merging activity ideas and the different parts of PBL to bring authentic learning experiences to her students. She began integrating standards and creating structures that allow students to have voice and choice while maintaining order. She now works remotely with K-5 teachers and districts that are looking to replace traditional teaching methods with project-based learning.

Published by Ulysses Press in paperback format, this teaching resource provides immediate solutions for educators seeking to implement project-based learning without the complexity of developing activities from scratch.
