Project-based learning focused on numeracy and literacy skills with Māori second-chance learners

This report documents the evaluation of two integrated Project Based Learning (PBL) lessons created to engage Māori second chance learners.

The lessons include a strong numeracy and literacy focus as this is the major barrier stopping second-chance learners gaining a qualification. A Project based approach aimed to increase soft skills through practical group work and self-esteem through recognised achievement.

The accompanying resources details the two projects. These projects were designed to be easily sharable or replicated by others organisations.
