Editor's Notes
SARA: Before proceeding to slide 4: At this point ask, how many of you have been to a workshop on PBL? (Hands, look around) How many of you do projects in your classroom? (Hands, look around) ASK: We’d like you to reflect on your expectations. On a scrap of paper, write “This will be a successful day for me if…” Blue tape on some chairs, ask those people to read out.
Moral of the story: We can’t do it alone
Sara: Who’s in your network? Who can support you, add to and challenge your ideas? Any of them here with you? Any teams that learn together? Before proceeding to slide 6:
JANE – Tell the story, model Think of a project. Think about the capabilities you drew on or developed while doing it. AHA – Isn’t this what we want for our kids, and it doesn’t it encompass of 21 st c. skills, how ever you define them? I maintain you cant’ achieve these Imagine aggregating all your answers into a word picture… couldn’t do it so…
Jane
Before Next Slide: How do you define Project Based Learning? Write some notes, share with a neighbor, modify as you’d like based on what you heard. Jane’s challenge was to get it down to 25 words….
Jane reads, parses elements on next slides

Sara: Describe what to look, listen for to answer: What is significant about the project? What “big ideas” are being developed? (animal life and husbandry, health investigations, economic systems) Turn to a neighbor…
Jane In project based-learning there’s often an initiating event to get kids’ attention, then a driving or essential question that sparks kids’ need to know. We’ll focus on the question here. Ask a question then prompt for more angles or go deeper with the question. Help kids shape them so significant learning will happen. Let’s look at three subordinate questions kids might pursue: What key subject matter might be addressed in the process of answering these questions?
Jane: Prompt? Do you make distinction between activity-based and project-based? If so, what? Think of the video(s) you just saw, discuss in what ways… PBL is in evidence.
Sara: Can you keep doing your penguin unit? You bet. However, penguins probably aren’t specially in your grade level curriculum Think about how the theme of penguins might give entrée to rigorous study about… you decide. Prompt? Do you make distinction between activity-based and project-based? If so, what? REPORT OUT

Sara: STAND UP MOVE, then ask questions about what we’ve discussed so far, THEN we’ll dig into Driving Questions
Jane They have some project sketches in front of them. They don’t all have entry events, but they might imagine what those are. Check into these again during work time. Some have EQs some have DQ’s depended on the person asking.
Sara: A Driving Question helps both students and teachers…
Sara Explains, says it’s interesting to see what kids think makes a good driving question. Thumb through their packet to see more definitions by kids
Jane From your perspective
JANE - Dependent on wht you’re doing, we need to dig into it with you throughout the day, and handout about products you
JANE - Consider an assessment timeline. Check the google site for a PDF of this
