Move from projects to Project Based Learning. Most
teachers have done projects, but the majority do not use the
defined set of methods associated with high-quality PBL. These
methods include developing a focused question, using solid,
well crafted performance assessments, allowing for multiple
solutions, enlisting community resources, and choosing
engaging, meaningful themes for projects. PBL offers the best
method we have presently for combining inquiry with
accountability, and should be part of every teacher’s repertoire.
See my website or the Buck Institute for methods.
