BROOKHAVEN INNOVATION ACADEMY UTILIZES PROJECT BASED LEARNING Laurie Kimbrel
INTRODUCTION  Laurie Kimbrel is the head of school at Brookhaven Innovation Academy, a public charter school based in Norcross, Georgia. In her work as the founding head of school Laurie Kimbrel has a multitude of responsibilities, including establishing the school’s curriculum and instructional program and hiring all staff. Brookhaven Innovation Academy’s core focus makes creating a curriculum into a more challenging task than it would be at other schools. A new school that opened in 2016, Brookhaven focuses on honing each student’s individual talents, personalizing their learning while also giving them the tools necessary to be successful in a technology-driven world.
BROOKHAVEN INNOVATION ACADEMY  One of the ways in which Brookfield looks to individualize its students’ experience while preparing them for college is through the curriculum’s focus on Project Based Learning (PBL). This method of teaching presents an interesting and nuanced question, project, or challenge for students, and asks them to respond or solve it over an extended period of time. In this way, students are constantly engaged in their work and encouraged to look at a problem from multiple angles - a creative problem-solving method constantly utilized in the work force. With the additional opportunity to use technology in addressing the work, PBL provides an effective and enjoyable learning experience for students.
