  1. Project Based Learning (PBL)Two Approaches • Teacher Centered – Direct instruction driven • Learner Centered - PBL

  2. PBL – For Teachers • This is a project about project-based learning. This project is designed to teach educators what project-based learning is and how they can use it in their schools to improve student learning.

  3. PBL - Scenario • It is an interesting time for education. With the advent of the Common Core State Standards, the Next Generation Science Standards and the Next Generation Assessments, standards and accountability systems are definitely undergoing change! Although it is generally agreed that standards and accountability are not bad, some educators believe the way the politicians are going about reforming education is not in the best interest of the students. • However , the new Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards reflect current thinking about rigor, relevance, and relationship as the keys to educational reform. Project-based learning (PBL) is a vehicle that will help students achieve the Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards and develop the 21st-century skills needed beyond school. • Some educators feel the need to better understand the theory and research behind PBL and why it is a valuable tool that can be used to increase student achievement. As a science leader and an educator who believes in the importance of STEM subjects, you would like to convince fellow educators that they should implement PBL.  

  4. PBL - Scenario • Your job is to explain to the K-12 teachers of your school district what Project-Based Learning really is by answering the following questions: • 1) What is project-based learning? • 2) What is the role of assessment in project-based learning? • 3) What are the components of a well planned project? • 4) What are the steps to plan a good project? • 5) How does project-based learning support No Child Left Behind? • 6) Why would any teacher want to use project-based learning in his/her classroom?

  5. PBL - Task • Are you up to this challenge? • Each group will research one of the questions defined in the Scenario. • Each group will create a presentation designed to persuade the teachers of your district of the value of Project-Based Learning as an instructional strategy that empowers teachers to engage students in meaningful learning consisted with No Child Left Behind. Your group will be responsible for a three minute (strictly timed) persuasive presentation on their topic for the group. • The presentation should involve multimedia. You may choose any multimedia application available on your computer that someone in your group already knows how to use.

  6. PBL - Task • Goals of Project 1. Teachers will learn the elements of Project Based Learning.2. Teachers will become familiar with resources that support Project Based Learning.3. Teachers will participate in online research.4. Teachers will complete a short project. • Objectives of Project • Each Project Team will research one key question and demonstrate understanding of that element of Project Based Learning by creating a presentation of the information learned for the entire group. • Each Project Team will demonstrate that they are proficient in conducting online research by locating the appropriate information to support their project. • Each Project Team will complete a short multimedia (multiple media) project to present their information to the entire group. • The group will demonstrate that they understand the concept of Project Based Learning by their completing of a project plan during the duration of the workshop.

  7. PBL - Process • Meet with your group and determine each person's role. You will have one hour to finish your research and be ready to present your topic to the entire group. Your group will need: • A multimedia expert who will create your multimedia presentation. • A researcher who will be responsible for exploring the resources and selecting and organizing the information you will need for your presentation (actually, all of you should help with this). • A presenter who will use your PowerPoint slide show or Prezi or Glogster, etc. to tell us what you have learned. • A graphic design expert who will storyboard and design the graphic layout of your presentation. • Any other role your group decides to be necessary to compete this project. • You must determine how to divide these roles. • Each person may take on a separate role or you may overlap and share the roles.

  8. PBL - Process Preproduction: • Begin by brainstorming with your group. • Meet with your team and decide the format of your presentation. Brainstorm your ideas first. Brainstorming is non-critical. All ideas are initially accepted. After everyone has suggested his or her ideas, narrow the field by having each person select his or her two top choices. See which product is selected by the most people. If necessary, repeat this narrowing process one more time with the two top choices until you have only one agreed upon choice. Check for consensus before moving on. • Choose a multimedia presentation tool from available sources. • Next plan your project. Then do the research.

  9. PBL - Process Production: • After your group has determined the important information that needs to be presented, begin to create your multimedia presentation. Keep it simple. • Choose your graphics well so that they support your critical points.

  10. PBL - Process Post-production: • Determine who will give the presentation to the group. Give a no more than THREE minute presentation for the group to convince us that project-based learning is a robust, viable, and critical education philosophy.

  11. Group 1 • Your job is to inform us about what project-based learning really is. You will define project based learning. What is the research base for project-based learning? How do we know it works? The following sites will help you with your research: • The History of Project Based Learning • Buck Institute PBL Research • Project Based Learning Models • Getting a Grip on Project Based Learning • Project Based Learning – A Short History

  12. Group 2 • Your job is to explain what is the role of assessment in project-based learning. How do we assess student learning in project-based learning? How do we know project-based learning can improve-student learning? The following sites will help you with your research: • The Difference Between Evaluation and Grading • PBL and Assessment (West Ed) • GLEF Assessment and PBL • Authentic Assessment • Criteria for Effective Assessment in Project-Based Learning

  13. Group 3 • Your job is to tell us about the components of a well planned project? The following sites will help you with your research: • Seven Essentials for PBL • Features of PBL • Designing your project • Elements of PBL

  14. Group 4 • Your job is to define the steps involved in planning and executing a good project? The following sites will help you with your research: • Steps of PBL • The Nine Steps of PBL • How does PBL work? • You Tube video on Steps for PBL

  15. Group 5 • Convince us that project-based learning is consistent with No Child Left Behind? The following sites will help you with your research: • Standard Based Instruction Information • PBL and Standards • PBL and Research • No Child Left Behind Act • PBL in a NCLB World • Ed.gov: The Secretary's Conference on Educational Technology

  16. Group 6 • Given that schools are required to demonstrate improved student learning through standardized test scores, why would any teacher want to use project-based learning in his/her classroom? The following sites will help you with your research: • SCANS Information • Overview of the Next Generation Assessment System • PBL and standardized tests? Can it work? • PBL for the 21st century.

  17. Group 7 • When and how should/can multimedia be used to enhance instruction in a way that is more effective that not using multimedia media. Specifically what are the components or elements of multimedia that make a multimedia project highly effective. Elaborate on each and tell how each supports learning in a multimedia project. The following sites will help you with your research: • Six Benefits to Project Based Learning and Technology Integration • Technology integration and PBL • Increasing student learning through multimedia projects. • PBL with Multimedia – a literature review.

  18. PBL - Evaluation

  19. PBL - Conclusion • Reflection/Group Discussion • Now that you have experienced project-based learning • What did you do as you planned your project? • What changes did you make during the production process? • How did you select what information to include? • How did the whole team contribute to this project? • Do you wish you had been given more time to work on this project? • What else would you have done?
