White Paper: Evidence-Based Strategies to Boost Student Engagement and Success

The nearly $200 billion in ESSER and $2.75 billion in EANS funding represents a unique opportunity for K-12 leaders to make significant investments in improving instruction and closing achievement gaps among students. In this paper, we’ll explore two evidence-based educational approaches, Understanding by Design (UbD) and Gold Standard Project-Based Learning (PBL), that K-12 leaders should consider as they look to use their ESSER funds to combat learning loss and drive student engagement.

In this complimentary white paper from Defined Learning, we’ll share what the experts say about the UbD and PBL approaches and provide examples from districts that have effectively implemented these strategies to boost student success.
