  • "We do not learn from experience . . . we learn from reflecting on experience."
  • Reflection not only makes learning stick at the end of a project but also helps students think about what's working well and what's not during PBL.
  • The same holds true for teachers.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Perhaps you're scrambling to coordinate project showcase events before the holiday break. But it's well worth your time, while your memory's fresh, to make some notes and gather information about how things went this time around.
  • Don't rely on your own impressions. Ask students to share their insights about the strengths and weaknesses of a project.
  • By inviting student feedback, you demonstrate respect for their opinions and underscore the value of student voice.
  • Be sure to ask open-ended questions
  • Some PBL teachers make reflection a habit by blogging about projects as they unfold. In the process, they create an archive of observations that they can refer back to later.
  • While individual teacher reflection is valuable, reflecting with colleagues can be even better.
  • Think of yourselves as doctors on rounds, suggests the Coalition of Essential Schools (11), as you look closely for evidence of student learning.
  • In "Wild About Cramlington," (12) teacher Darren Mead describes the challenge of giving his students an experience with "just enough failure to act and think in a way different from the normal school day."

    Helpful article for considering how teachers can learn from their own lessons. The samples from current teacher blogs are very impactful.
