5 Strategies for Making Project Work Time More Productive https://www.bie.org/blog/5_strategies_for_making_project_work_time_more_productive
This blog is very helpful in how to
facilitate students to being productive on project work days. Through PBL
students are responsible for their learning although they may collaborate with
others. This prepares students for real world experiences. The steps provided
take time modeling and teaching, but are well worth the results. Work contracts
would fit seamlessly into the five steps Kristyn Kamps provids us as well as
the five strategies James Fester suggests for fostering collaborative culture
in a PBL classroom. This is a great resource to share with teachers at my
school that are ready to implement PBL in their classroom.
Hi Taylor,
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you found this blog helpful in promoting student productivity in their independent work. Which strategies do you feel would be most beneficial for sharing with teachers at your school? Which ones do you feel would be the most beneficial for use in your classroom? Which ones will you try and how?
Thanks,
Dawn
Preparing students for working in teams and planning frequent opportunities for feedback I feel would be the most beneficial to teachers that have the desire to effectively implement PBL. These strategies will be the most beneficial in my classroom as well. I strive to do a better job at preparing students to not only work in teams but as a team. The examples provided are a great way to prepare students. I also want to work toward creating more opportunities for self and peer feedback. I believe I do an adequate job of providing feedback for all students. Feedback from peers provides different meaning and resonates differently than feedback from the instructor. Students gain reassurance and may be presented with ideas giving them confidence and perseverance.
