The team was challenged to create a school wide (9-12) PBL project. We designed a fall festival challenge for our student to design. Students presented to community members and NEOMED the final proposal.
Freshman students were challenged to create messages for the community about the dangers of pharmaceutical misuse. NEOMED Pharmacy students served as content experts and helped advise the students on the content of their messages.

Identity PBL - creating an online Portfolio
Identity PBL - creating an online Portfolio
Reflection is key to long term memory storage of learning. In an effort to help our students reflect on their development of our student attributes, we developed student portfolios. Students added to their portfolios every year. This is a legacy project that we still continue today with our students. I'm currently working with our 5th and 6th grade students to create their portfolios.
