Planning for Project Learning in Your Classroom, School, or School District | Edutopia - 13 views

  •  
    The projects profiled here are full-figured creations by teams of teachers at schools whose cultures and schedules support grand ideas. Take a deep breath -- it didn't happen in one big swoop.

In my personal experience, project-based learning makes for an amazing classroom, but there is a lot of work done on the front-end to get students to buy-in to this model, and then to work within this model.

    It happened again. You took a test and bombed it. You remembered how to do the math, but some of the words looked like they were writen in another language! How did that happen?! You forgot a lot of stuff from last year and now it is causing major problems for you. You have decided that you are going to learn the vocabulary no matter what it takes. Surely that will help your grade!!
