Why is PJL the 21st century go-to in K-12 education?

Project Based Learning is becoming the preferred method for K-12 instruction, and rightly so. PJL has shifted the focus to real world, hands on, learning experiences that engage the students more fully than memorizing a list of facts or answering multiple choice or true/false questions ever can.

PJL requires students to work in groups, which sets them up for success later in life where the ability to work well with others is necessary for career success. This also teaches students that others have valuable insights and ideas too.
