Mantle of the Expert
 The learners are framed ‘as if’ they are experts
 Through their work they create an imaginary
enterprise
 The enterprise has a client that commissions them
to work on a project
 The emphasis is on the tasks the students need to
do, to make the “enterprise” a success and to
serve the needs of the client
 The project work creates opportunities to explore
the curriculum creating meaningful, cross-
curricular contexts for learning
