NATIONAL COLLABORATIVE LEARNING NETWORK
The National Collaborative Learning Network (NCLN) is a platform that fosters connections and develops strong relationships among PowerPlay educators. The input and contributions through this network inform and enrich relevant programming and resources. Due to our core program being led and delivered by teachers, we believe providing them with extensive wrap-around, mentorship and resources is important.

FAQs
-
When academic learning is presented in the context of a complex real-world project that requires a variety of tasks to complete, we find that it enables all students to participate and achieve success alongside their peers. Students that are below grade level academically are able to work at their own level. Students showcase their own talents and abilities but are also able to stretch themselves in ways that are unique to them.
-
A key to the PowerPlay Learning Model is coming up with a theme that captures the imagination of students. PowerPlay Young Entrepreneurs is highly engaging and makes it easy for you to get started. Students are challenged to explore new concepts and create their own solutions to real world issues.
-
Presenting new skills and concepts in the framework of a meaningful real-life activity (instead of a lecture or worksheet) immediately engages students as they see the relevance of what they are doing. Mastering practical skills that help them function effectively in society boosts their self-confidence.

With PowerPlay Young Entrepreneurs, we introduce new concepts through an interactive discussion and follow this up with a related game or activity. Once students have learned the relevant skills through the game-based format they are able to apply and adapt the concepts to their real-world projects. This gives educators the opportunity to assess learning at various stages and helps students master the new skills. Presenting learning through games enables students to have fun and takes the pressure off individuals who may be less confident.
