The Project Approach Course Online is changing to a new format. The course will from now on be freely available here at no cost. A Blog will be available for learners to contact one another and to discuss their studies.

The instructor, Sylvia Chard, will be happy to respond to any questions learners have about the course material or the projects teachers engage in as a result of the course.

If you wish to follow up your studies with the submission of a course assignment documenting a project, this assignment could earn you a certificate to show your successful completion of the course.

If you wish to have your assignments marked and a certificate to be awarded there will be a charge for this process and you will be asked to complete an online registration and payment procedure prior to the submission of your assignment.

Please review the material on this site.  It is all publicly available at no charge except for the course Blog which is available to registered users only.

The advantage of registering in the course is that you can take part in on-going discussions with the other participants and with the instructor, Sylvia Chard, on the course Blog throughout your study of the Project Approach.  In addition, you may wish to carry out a project in your own classroom and submit an account of it for assessment as final assignment. At this point you can pay for an assessment of the assignment which will earn a Certificate of Successful Completion signed by the instructor, Sylvia Chard.

Here's what one teacher wrote about a former version of the course:
"I really cherished my online work with you and wanted to let you know!!I was just going through my teaching portfolio ... and came to my class project on Guinea Pigs.  It brought SUCH a great big smile to my face - the wonderful time I had working through my course with you online."

N.B.
The Course has been re-designed and a new WordPress based Blog has been added. In the process of developing the new look we are moving from a static HTML format to a dynamic database driven format that will allow rapid updates and other features that were not possible before.  While parts of the site are still under construction we appreciate your patience and would also welcome your feedback on what doesn’t work, what works well and what you would like to see added.
