Presenter: John Spencer
Student choice is about more than just a menu option. It’s about student ownership. This includes ownership of the processes, the assessment, strategies, and metacognition. But how do we make this happen? How do we fit this into our standards and our curriculum map? PBL can seem daunting when you have time constraints, standards, and a curriculum map. Often, the push for better test scores and “basic skills” means certain students, such as Gifted students, fail to have access to these projects. However, PBL and research can work for all students and in this workshop, find out the blueprint for making this a reality.
