Parker- Chapter 11 RR


Reading Reflection #11

1.     Describe what occurs as a result of using the Project-based learning approach.

Projects should leave teachers and students with vivid memories, souvenirs and artifacts teachers have collected along the way, and plenty of ideas for shaping the next learning adventure. Good projects don’t lead to a dead in. Instead, they open new doors and create connections that you can build into future project designs.

2.     Discuss ways to bring your project home.

Critique your work with your planning team and use the opportunity to draw out each other’s best ideas for improvement.  Share your insights, with other teachers, existing networks. Become a resource for tour colleagues.

  1. Good projects should also make students want to open new doors themselves and explore the topic further themselves. For our website we are working towards a field day that involves hydration, healthy eating, and exercise. Our hope is that our students will take it farther than the project and develop these healthy habits themselves, maybe even find other ways to be healthy!
