About the Workshop
How do we ensure that the products we ask students to create are rigorous and align to significant content and skills? What project-embedded strategies can help deepen student thinking and elicit evidence of this thinking? How can we coach students toward ever-increasing levels of intellectual rigor and quality work?
In this engaging and interactive workshop, participants will investigate and apply teaching practices and strategies that can help to strengthen the quality of student work in a PBL classroom. They will develop and reflect on a high-quality project, and will plan for project implementation in order to improve student products and enhance learning.
This PBL 201 Workshop focuses on four teaching practices of Gold Standard PBL: Align to Standards; Scaffold Student Learning; Engage & Coach; and Assess Student Learning.
In this workshop, you will learn how to:
- Align projects to significant content and skills
- Scaffold students’ capacity to think critically
- Use learner-centered coaching practices to help all students grow
- Facilitate effective critique and revision processes
- Build a culture of quality work, and rigorous thinking
