400\">With a career spanning multiple grade levels and a track record of revitalizing struggling schools in California, Wintz makes it her mission to inspire a love of learning in all her students. Most recently, she has focused on PBL as part of her development in ASU Prep’s Expert Teacher Track and her ongoing studies in leadership at Northern Arizona University. Her innovative approach creates ripples of change, empowering students and redefining the classroom experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Transforming learning with PBL<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Project-Based Learning empowers students to make meaningful, real-world connections while developing a deep sense of empathy and purpose<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> around a central driving question,\u201d Wintz <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">shares. Unlike traditional teaching methods where students passively absorb information, PBL encourages active participation. Students step into real-world roles, tackling complex problems, brainstorming solutions and testing ideas collaboratively. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This methodology is how many students learn in university classrooms and is a great skill to master in early education settings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This shift in learning has a profound impact. \u201cI see firsthand that students aren\u2019t just more engaged; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">they\u2019re demonstrating deeper comprehension, stronger communication skills and greater ownership of their growth<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,\u201d Wintz explains. By giving students agency, PBL fosters critical thinking, creativity and resilience, all vital qualities for success in today’s world.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Strategies for success<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wintz\u2019s classroom thrives on a balance of structure and freedom, which is essential for effective PBL. She co-creates class norms with her students each year to foster responsibility and mutual respect, laying the foundation for independence and self-regulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her approach goes beyond teaching content, emphasizing collaboration and leadership. Wintz encourages students to self-select roles like project manager or recorder, promoting accountability and social-emotional skills such as active listening and compromise. \u201cStudents quickly realize how much more productive their teams are when everyone has a clear job,\u201d she reflects. \u201cIt\u2019s a powerful moment that helps them take responsibility seriously.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wintz also incorporates the Stanford Design Thinking framework, which organizes work into structured phases like Empathy, Ideate, Prototype and Test. This method provides direction while encouraging exploration and innovation. \u201cThe structure allows the freedom to thrive,\u201d she notes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-161267 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/asuprep.asu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/students-engaging-with-the-world-through-project-based-learning.jpg\" alt=\"Students using Project-Based Learning\" width=\"1540\" height=\"974\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Real-world relevance and impact<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One standout project in Wintz\u2019s classroom is the hydroponics challenge, where students explore the driving question: \u201cCan plants grow without soil, and how can this benefit communities in the future?\u201d Students design their own hydroponic systems, learning not only scientific concepts but also how to collaborate and present their ideas effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What makes this project special is its impact beyond the classroom. Families started growing fruits and vegetables at home, and one student was so inspired that they requested a hydroponic system for their birthday. \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That spark of excitement is exactly what we want learning to feel like<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,\u201d Wintz says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Wintz, making learning relevant to the real world is essential. She believes PBL is more than teaching content; it\u2019s about equipping students with collaboration, empathy and professional communication skills that will serve them throughout their lives. \u201cThey\u2019re not just solving problems; they\u2019re learning how to make a positive difference,\u201d she notes. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cPBL lays the groundwork for lifelong learning and leadership.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Collaborating with families and community<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wintz understands the importance of partnerships as a key component of PBL<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for elementary students.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Families often step in to support their children\u2019s learning by providing project supplies or attending presentations. For the hydroponics project, partnerships <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">extended <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to the local business community. Students <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">worked<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/truegarden.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">True Garden<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a company specializing in aeroponic growing systems, whose owner reviews and provides feedback on the students\u2019 final presentations. \u201cHaving an expert listen to their ideas reinforces the real-world relevance of their work,\u201d Wintz explains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moving forward, Wintz hopes to deepen these connections by collaborating with more businesses and institutions. \u201cMy goal is to provide students with more opportunities to connect with local experts, access real-world tools and see how their learning can contribute to their community,\u201d she shares.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Assessment and growth<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wintz uses various assessment tools to measure progress and ensure alignment with state standards. Her methods support continuous learning, from rubrics that evaluate content knowledge and skills to peer feedback protocols like TAG (Tell something you liked, Ask a question, Give a suggestion).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For instance, her students present initial ideas for their hydroponics systems to their peers, using feedback to refine their designs before moving forward. This constant loop of feedback and reflection encourages growth. \u201cAssessment is woven into every phase of PBL, helping students stay focused and move their learning forward,\u201d Wintz explains.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Leading the way<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trinia Wintz\u2019s commitment to innovation and student growth highlights how creative, purpose-driven learning unlocks opportunities for young minds. Her dedication to PBL aligns with the goals of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/asuprep.asu.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ASU Preparatory Academy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to transform education through innovation and personalized approaches, inspiring and equipping all learners to thrive in a complex world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This shared vision comes to life through groundbreaking initiatives such as the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/asuprep.asu.edu\/news\/microspark-conference-ignites-stem-education-at-asu-prep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">MicroSpark Microelectronics & Semiconductor K\u201312 Teacher Conference<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which equips educators with advanced tools to enhance science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education.

Family Choice Day, a flexible, hybrid scheduling option available to students enrolled at our Phoenix, South Phoenix, Pilgrim Rest, and Polytechnic campuses in Arizona. This innovative program allows families to choose how and where their children learn on Fridays, creating a more dynamic and relevant educational experience. Families can adjust their enrollment choices quarterly, ensuring the program aligns with their evolving needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Flexible learning options<\/h2>\n<h3><b>In-person learning<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students have the option to attend half-day in-person classes at an ASU Prep campus or engage in special in-person programming at an ASU campus. On-campus offerings include academic intervention, enrichment programs, special field trips, and on-site internships, all designed to provide hands-on, enriching experiences that support learners\u2019 growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>At-home learning<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who prefer a home-based learning environment, students can complete a \u201cFriday Playlist\u201d that includes both online learning and offline\u00a0 learning opportunities. Options include family field trips, out-of-school enrichment programs, internships at approved sites, digital electives, coursework\u00a0 \u201cmust-dos,\u201d as well \u201cmay-do\u201d suggestions, such as journaling.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The background of Family Choice Day<\/h2>\n<p>The concept of a flexible fifth day originated at our ASU Prep Casa Grande campus, where a four-day school week has been in place for many years. The hybrid program allowed an extra day for students to engage in jobs, internships, and academic support activities. The success of this model was mirrored at the South Phoenix high school campus last year, leading to the decision to expand the program across more campuses.<\/p>\n<p>Surveys of families and teachers highlighted a strong preference for a flexible Friday, enabling the program to align with family needs while maintaining academic rigor. This flexibility has proved beneficial, reducing burnout and increasing student engagement and success.<\/p>\n<h2>The benefits of Family Choice Day<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Megan Hanley, Executive Director of School Design, notes, \u201cFamily Choice Day gives families the choice and flexibility for what works best for them.\u201d This could mean offering students a chance to recharge and engage in activities that spark their interests, providing valuable family time, or enabling them to pursue work opportunities and explore new passions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hybrid learning model of Family Choice Day offers numerous advantages, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Family flexibility: Families can tailor their student\u2019s learning experience to best suit their needs, whether it\u2019s a day of fun learning at school or a relaxed learning day at home.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Student engagement: By providing a break from the traditional school week, students remain excited and engaged, both academically and in non-academic activities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personal growth: Students are encouraged to explore interests outside the standard curriculum, fostering creativity and personal development.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staff collaboration: Teachers have the opportunity to lead classes in areas they are passionate about, enhancing the educational experience for both students and educators.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Real-world preparation: Students become familiar with blended learning environments found in college classes and modern workplaces.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Unique offerings across campuses<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s going so well,\u201d shares Hanley. \u201cEach school site is offering such a unique program. Classes are being led by all kinds of staff members, including our School Resource Officer at Downtown Phoenix, as well as great community partners.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the unique programs and activities offered at each campus:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ASU Prep Polytechnic STEM Academy: Drones, robotics, pi\u00f1ata-making and other crafts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ASU Prep Polytechnic High School: Collaborations with ASU on robotics, cooking classes and more.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ASU Prep Pilgrim Rest: Fashion program collaborations and leadership coding initiatives.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ASU Prep Downtown Phoenix: Mindfulness sessions, fitness programs and poetic collaborations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ASU Prep South Phoenix: Virtual reality coding, soccer skills development and aquarium projects.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>A community effort<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe are so appreciative of our entire staff throughout the Network,\u201d says Hanley. \u201cWorking through all of the processes and changes is only possible if our staff see the possibilities, understand the goal, and exhibit perseverance through change.
