Learning With Purpose: Project-Based Learning in the Middle School Classroom
With Alessandra Santaguida
Project-based learning offers powerful opportunities for students to take ownership of their musical learning, but getting started can feel overwhelming.
This session provides practical, classroom-ready strategies for implementing project-based learning in the middle school music room. Educators will explore how thoughtfully designed projects can foster student choice, collaboration, and reflection, while strengthening music literacy and supporting a wide range of learners.
Through real ready-to-use classroom examples, planning frameworks, AI considerations and adaptable project ideas, participants will learn how to design PBL experiences that are purposeful, inclusive, and responsive to students’ diverse musical lives. Emphasis will be placed on approaches that are accessible for both music specialists and non-specialists, and that build community through shared musical inquiry and creation.
