  1. Project-Based Learning In Action!

  2. What is Project-Based Learning? • PBL is curriculum fueled and standards based. • PBL asks a question or poses a problem that ALL students can answer. Concrete, hands-on experiences come together during project-based learning. • PBL allows students to investigate issues and topics in real-world problems. • PBL fosters abstract, intellectual tasks to explore complex issues. • AHS TEACHERS ALREADY DO THESE THINGS!

  3. Steps of Project Based Learning • Question • Plan • Schedule • Monitor • Assess • Evaluate

  4. Question • Start with the Essential question. • Take a real-world topic and begin an in-depth investigation. • Make sure it is relevant for your students.

  5. Plan • Plan which content standards will be addressed while answering the question. • Involve students in the questioning, planning, and project-building process. • Teacher and students brainstorm activities that support the inquiry.

  6. Schedule • Teacher and students design a timeline for project components. • Set benchmarks. • Keep it simple and age-appropriate.

  7. Monitor • Facilitate the process (do not just grade papers) • Mentor the process (set up meetings during the process) • Make requirements clear by using descriptive rubrics

  8. Assess • Make the assessment authentic. The product should measure the knowledge or skill you were hoping for them to learn • Know authentic assessment will require more time and effort from the teacher • Vary the types of assessment used

  9. Evaluate • Take time to reflect, individually and as a group • Share feelings and experiences • Discuss what worked well • Discuss what needs to change • Share ideas that will lead to new inquiries, thus new projects

  10. Following up • Please complete the survey linked below • We are looking for ideas for a school-wide theme to use for our first Austin High School PBL-Give us your ideas on the feedback form
