    Very clear, focused and was easy to follow. Your Screener showed a nice progression of your year. We wonder if adding different transitions would improve your slide show?
  •  
    Wow! The explanation of the process was well thought out. Great job on attribution with the pictures. We wonder if your picture for differentiation and tiering portrays the concept well because it looks more uniformed? We also wonder if using pictures of your students would make it more relevant to the teachers in the district?

    Ohhhh...you are not a band person! Bands are totally differentiated as well as tiered. Differentiated because of the different instruments and tiered because there are parts for each instrument (1st, 2nd, 3rd clarinet, for instance).

    This was amazing, group!
  •  
    Ahhh..but the band is the perfect example of differentiation: different instruments and each group of instruments is tiered by ability (1st clarinet, 2nd clarinet and 3rd clarinet, for instance).

Getting Started with Project-Based Learning (Hint: Don't Go Crazy) | Edutopia - 1 views

  • Here are a few tips to consider.
  • Start Small
  • Instead of targeting a million standards, focus on a few power standards.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Ensure authenticity and public audience, but keep it focused.
  • As you get begin to master PBL as a teacher, you can then use technology to manage the process. But as a PBL beginner, focus on the PBL process itself.
  • Once you plan it, you're free to differentiate instruction and meet the immediate needs of your students
  • Limited Technology
  • Plan Now One of the challenges of PBL, but also one of the joys, is the planning process.
  • Know the Difference Between PBL and Projects
  • With PBL, the project itself is the learning (1), not the "dessert" at the end. If you are doing projects in the classroom, you may or may not be doing PBL. In fact, many teachers think they are doing PBL, but are actually doing projects. Again, in PBL you are teaching through the project, not teaching and then doing the project.

    This website demonstrates how one Canadian high school science teacher has organized her website (thanks to her IT husband...) as a functioning platform for her students to complete DI assignments and interact with one another.

    While this particular teacher's website makes my head spin, it does provide an idea of how I can make my own School World site more interactive as well as design my own site as a platform for students to refer to throughout a unit.

Project Management - The Devil is in the Differentiation! | Blog | Project Based Learni... - 2 views

  • 1. Team meetings: Meet with each team for at least 10 -15 minutes at key points during the project. This will take a couple of days if you have 6 - 8 teams in a class, but the time investment is worth it.
  • 2. Team Rep meetings: This is almost the opposite of the Team meeting, where you meet with only 1 person from each team. If the class has 7 teams then you meet with the 7 team reps all at the same time.
  • 3. Make your class space as self-service as possible: Take time at the beginning of the year to set the culture that the students can take care of themselves and get what they need for their learning. As students get better (trained) at knowing how to act appropriately in the class space, your teaching is more powerful. You can pay attention to the important things like responding to questions, having deep conversations with individuals or teams, or even giving a short lecture because the students have asked for that information in the Need to Know list.
