Benefits of GRASPS
Over the years of organizing and implementing
our units this way, we have noticed some benefits
for students and teachers. Many of these
observations are from the perspective of an MYP
or DP classroom, but the underlying ideas would
benefit any project-based learning experience.
From the teacher’s perspective, we have noticed:
•Develop authentic learning experiences
•Clearer presentation of the purpose and
content of a project-based inquiry
•Clarify the roles, perspectives, and responsibilities
of students
•Communicate the expectations of the
inquiry
•Guide the selection of learning experiences, content
and skills necessary for success
