Andy, I think you'd be interested in

Spectacular Things Happen Along the Way: Lessons from an Urban Classroom

I think what happens there is "Project Based Learning" in priniple. I 
would be skeptical of anything by that name presented as some kind of

Although this is the other PBL, you might be interested in an AERA paper 
by Eugene Matisov, John St. Julien & myself:
