This site is a reource example of the CBL approach being used in an elementary school. The project has a global initiative of helping children in China and Afghanistan.
"Challenge Based Learning applies what is known about the emerging learning styles of high school students and leverages the powerful new technologies that provide new opportunities to learn to provide an authentic learning process that challenges students to make a difference."
Thanks for sharing this simplified model. I was looking for something that did have so much detail to compare to the CBL model. I'm glad that you posted this.
What makes up a productive design team?
How do we capitalize on everyone’s skills?
In today’s workforce, individuals with various skill sets typically work together in teams on specific projects or challenges. During this team formation stage, it is important to consider roles and responsibilities and discuss the developmental nature of teams.
This was another aspect that I found crucial in my attempt at collaborative teams and challenge questions this year. The make-up of the teams was very crucial. Careful observation of accountable talk, engagement, and student roles through the use of observation charts helped me group the students in more appropriate groups and still give them some choice as to who they could work with. Heterogeneous vs. homogeneous groups were key. I hope to explore this in more depth through this challenge based model.
