A Michael Gorman piece. Perhaps he can help us too?

It's rare to find a video specific to PBL in K-2. It goes along with the book PBL in the Elementary Grades. Lindsay and I currently have copies of the book if you want to borrow it.

I found this rubric linked to the article Lisa K. recently shared. That article addresses finding and using good mentors as well as authentic audiences. I can't wait to see where we go with this.

Follow this link to find K-2 rubric. I'm interested to hear what k-2 make of them. They may be a good starting point.

I would love an article similar to this for K students

There are some most helpful tips in this article.

I am so glad that Dewey is being recognized ..... If you want some fun inspiration for pbl read Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliet. I use it as a read aloud and Incorporate many of it's ideas into the year.... I use painting The Geographer to begin our study of Virginia geography, each child has a set of pentominoes to explore and I use one of the settings, the tree house, as a basis for a pbl in math. I even have my grad students read this book. The sequels are just as inspiring.

Rubric for PBL for k-2

I would not call the WHO AM I presentations that Don's RLA and my RLA do PBL- but I have always wanted to build more self evaluation into that experience. While this rubric isn't quite right, it is getting me thinking. This is very cute however for younger children and I may find a way to use it with my first graders.

Nice rubric! Would be easy to adapt for a variety of projects in any subject. Saved it in iBooks :)

At the end of a project-based learning (PBL) experience, students typically share what they have learned or discovered with an audience. Depending on the project, students might publish their work online, make presentations at a public event, or pitch their ideas to a panel of judges.

... Another lens through which we can view our Fridays.

Very similar to mini-internships with access to community experts like the teacher had for the video project. It would be great to have access to a parent database of experts who could act as advisors. The students could use the parents or their friends as resources

Hmmmm... Do you think a Tubric will help you write Driving Questions? Check it out; you can make one. Watch the video on this link, then go to BIE to download the 2 pages you'll need to make it. If you make one, bring it to our next TLT meeting on February 14th.

I'm interested to know that her PBL lesson included direct instruction and in-class practice. Was it considered PBL because it was answering a DQ, involving a real-life situation?

Also, I think the Tubric seems cool! Makes the task of creating DQs seem more fun and likely to be successful, compared to sitting down with a blank piece of paper. I would like to put our heads together and come up with some DQs we could use... Ooh, starting to get excited about the possibilities!

This article may provide us with some insights for our own school-wide venture into PBL.

What an inspirational piece. I love the story of the guests observing kids on their cell phones in the hall during class time. The principal responds by saying, "Let's see what's going on..." The kids were setting up appt.s with the City Commissioner. Trust and Freedom with Responsibility in action.

Check out some videos of Elementary School projects.

Similar to our ground rules we just created!

Describes the questioning process that could be used in class.

Here is a great guide to the art of questioning that you could tweak to use with your students for FAB Lab and other class times.

This looks like a very valuable site to join to encourage "The Art of Questioning".
