October Blues
Oof. What a month it has been. I am grateful for the opportunity to reflect today with colleagues as part of a podcast for project based learning. As our first project of the year closes, I want to carve out the time to capture the reflections I have.
Goals:
Create a syllabus for each project
Design a project like a college course
Create a library/playlists for those who want to dive deeper. Make this available at the beginning of the project
Start with the end in mind (even curation)
Give a project outline at the launch
Project outline should have the exhibition date included
Connect to the outside world
Make the project focus more about a real-world skill that they might need in a career
Know your discipline enough to map concepts and standards onto the project
Explicitly call out the concepts and standards
Determine what they should know at the end and design assessment and benchmarks to lead up to the final understanding
I am feeling hopeful for the next project
