Project-based learning (PBL) is a powerful teaching method that has copious benefits for students, ranging from project management to self-confidence. It also gives teachers the opportunity to build stronger relationships with their students by acting as their hands-on learning facilitator. In essence, PBL is an instructional method where students collaborate with others and “learn by doing.”

In-Depth Understanding: Students build on their research skills and deepen their learning of applied content beyond facts or memorization.
Self-Confidence: Students find their voice and learn to take pride in their work, boosting their agency and purpose.
Preservance: In working on a project, students learn to manage obstacles more effectively, often learning from failure and possibly starting over from scratch.

Storytelling is the oldest form of teaching. It bonded the early human communities, giving children the answers to the biggest questions of creation, life, and the afterlife. Stories define us, shape us, control us, and make us. Not every human culture in the world is literate, but every single culture tells stories.
Teacher learning is a continuous process that promotes teachers’ teaching skills, master new knowledge, develop new proficiency, which in turn, help improve students’ learning. Effective teacher learning and professional development is important for student achievement. Training teachers on project based learning so that teachers will feel motivated as well as accountable towards improving student learning outcomes and will also enable teacher development through continuous mentoring and support.
