Class Description: Students learn better when they can connect their understanding to the real world. Across subjects and grade levels, project-based learning provides students with opportunities to experiment, make mistakes, and pursue their interests. A greater emphasis is put on innovation, procedure, and reflection, and less so on test results. During the course, participants will be exposed to various best practices across the globe. Additionally, they will discover meaningful ways to change their classroom to accommodate PBL and still cover all their curriculum requirements.
Reflection:
Student agency in my class one year from now, will look even more student oriented than before. Where I did a lot of projects in my course before, those projects were all created by me. I want to give students more autonomy and have them come up with the ideas of how they want to show mastery of the standard. I really think I will scaffold my class in a way that starts with projects and activities that are directed by me, ten slowly work to incorporate more choice, and finally end the classes with units completely taken on by students, and have them determine how they will show master of the subject matter. I really want students to focus more on learning rather than grades. I can’t wait to see what next year holds!Reflection:
