The FOURTH "R"
Real Learning Via Problem-based Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship literacy is an essential component currently
missing in 21st Century Skills. Because of tight schedules and
lack of teacher expertise we are creating an entrepreneurship
problem-based strategy to weave into core curriculum.
Based on entrepreneur-created scenarios and questions for
students to explore, activities require student engagement with
the Internet and the community. The Consortium's 403
performance indicators serve as a basis for design and
evaluation of K-16 and adult problem-solving experiences.
Problem-based learning is not necessarily a "project", and
Project-based Learning does not require addressing a
"problem". Problem-based learning requires creativity, critical
thinking, analyzing and interpreting, external contacts,
community connections, questioning, and finding a solution ...
all that prepare them for life.
