While logic indicates that charter schools are engaging in innovation, little is known about the pedagogical practices inside charter classrooms. Given the unfortunate absence of knowledge on this topic, it is impossible to disseminate information related to successful practices in charter schools to the larger public school system. In order for charter schools to realize the goal of serving as laboratories of innovation, research on the specific educational practices of charter schools, as well as the conditions that support high-quality implementation of such reforms, must be conducted.

520 $a While logic indicates that charter schools are engaging in innovation, little is known about the pedagogical practices inside charter classrooms. Given the unfortunate absence of knowledge on this topic, it is impossible to disseminate information related to successful practices in charter schools to the larger public school system. In order for charter schools to realize the goal of serving as laboratories of innovation, research on the specific educational practices of charter schools, as well as the conditions that support high-quality implementation of such reforms, must be conducted.
520 $a This study investigated the use of a specific educational practice---project-based learning---in California charter schools. Given that project-based learning has been identified in the literature as a promising practice that enhances student motivation, learning, and achievement, it is important to understand both the benefits and challenges associated with the implementation of project-based learning that can be documented and shared with educators who are interested in alternative strategies for improving student achievement in California and U.S. schools.
520 $a Using the methodology of descriptive case studies, this project examined two California charter schools that are implementing unique forms of project-based learning: arts-integrated project-based learning and enterprise project-based learning. At each site the researcher collected data by conducting interviews with the principal and lead teacher, a focus group of teachers, classroom observations, and analysis of relevant documents. The findings illustrated that educators at both schools had experienced many similar benefits and challenges as those indicated by current research on project-based learning. More important, the study revealed novel issues and concerns related to the implementation of project-based learning in K-12 settings, such as challenges of balancing the divergent priorities of standardized and alternative assessment practices. The goal of this study was to disseminate the wisdom gathered from experienced and innovative practitioners through the creation of an online compendium that will benefit other educators in project-based learning environments.
