The curriculum for an engaged classroom
Cura’s project-based curriculum makes learning more engaging, relevant, and skills-based. The way it should be.
PBL curriculum that blends content and hands-on application.
Cura’s PBL projects aren’t an add-on. They aren’t ‘something else’ to do in addition to covering your core curriculum. That never works – you barely have time to cover the content as it is.
Instead, Cura’s projects are built into and integrated with the curriculum. So when you run a project, you’re teaching core curriculum at the same time. And when you’re teaching core curriculum, the project gives you a real-world context for students to apply what they’re learning.
When teaching & learning happens like this, you get the engagement without sacrificing the academic rigour. You make learning meaningful and relevant. And you strengthen student understanding by challenging them to transfer their learning to another context.
PBL curriculum that drives interdisciplinary learning.
The world isn’t divided neatly into subject areas. Learning shouldn’t be either. If students only ever learn to think along subject lines, they won’t ever understand the complexities of the world around them.
But breaking out of silos and creating cross-curricula projects that work isn’t easy. Besides, that means months of planning and hours of meetings.
Cura’s PBL curriculum does all the hard work for you. We’ve created projects that meaningfully integrate content from different learning areas into a single, cohesive unit. Our interdisciplinary units add a whole new dimension to your school’s teaching & learning.
Students need content and skills to thrive.
If you only teach students to pass an exam, they are ill-equipped to succeed in the tests that the real world throws at them. And you won’t be creating self-sufficient learners who can solve problems and work effectively with their peers.
Cura’s PBL projects don’t just teach curriculum. They also teach students skills like collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity.
Each unit contains explicit tasks to build these skills and then gives students the context to apply them – combined with content knowledge – to solve problems and create solutions.
When you teach content and skills, you do more than just teach to the test. You help students make an impact on the world.
“Cura’s engaging unit and resources had our students consistently engaged with the topic and solving real-world problems.”
