  • JasonSalhaney Jan 2 @ 8:06 PM EST
    A1: I think you have to start from the beginning, i.e. establishing norms, teaching kids how to communicate with eachother, active listening, how to respond to questions, etc. #122EdChat
  • Mr_ESievert Jan 2 @ 8:06 PM EST
    Key ingredients would be patience, openness, and humor #122edchat

    A1: to build a culture of trust & collaboration it starts on day one minute one of class. Students must feel welcomed in your space. Students must know that the classroom is a safe place to share thoughts and ideas. W/o this, nothing. It all starts with the groundwork. #122edchat
  • StephDill92 Jan 2 @ 8:07 PM EST

    A1 Give Ss the opportunity to have choice, share their voice, and see you take chances that aren’t always successful. Also important to teach what true collab is and not just give group work. They should challenge one another and play on strengths of the group.. #122edchat

    A1. Ss must feel safe to participate. It’s up to us as educators to guide them through the mistakes they will make and discuss how and why they are part of the learning process. Our expectations and classroom norms need to be set to early for this environment. #122edchat

    A2 I prefer PBL which helps ends with a product/effect that helps others. As such, we often discuss topics like: what keeps us from doing things? why don't we use skills we're learning to do good in the world? what would you do if you could? do we really need funding? #122edchat

    Here are some sample Driving Questions for #inquiry #pbl #122edchat
  • Brandon_Farrar Jan 2 @ 8:17 PM EST
    A2 I think the biggest piece here is we have to show them that it relates to their current lives. Telling a story is normally a good way to hook Ss into the lesson and show them it can apply to their lives. Of course you have to throw a cliff hanger in there! #122edchat
    • Hell2Teach Jan 2 @ 8:10 PM EST
      Q2: #inquiry #PBL begins with a question, a need to know, a want to help, a problem to solve. How do you tempt your students to question deeply? #122edchat
  • hayes_melisa Jan 2 @ 8:17 PM EST
    A2. I showcase an article from the NYTIMES once a week called: What’s going on in this pic? It only gives the pic so kids spark curiosity & wonder- by what they see, notice, wonder-then on Thursday it reveals the article so we compare! Kids ❤️ https://t.co/7upZqms4wt #122edchat
  • Toups_J Jan 2 @ 8:18 PM EST
    #122edchat I teach math and I try to give my Ss half of each of my classperiods to peer tutor and learn from each other while I walk around and facilitate. So cool to LISTEN and HEAR the kids teach each other.
  • Hessteacherest Jan 2 @ 8:18 PM EST
    A3: I don’t know that I have a clear strategy in place, but in terms of management and time, I know that if my lesson is taking most of class time, Ss are passive participants. #122edchat

  • MrsHopp126 Jan 2 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A3: I use "centers" (small, rotating groups) even w/ H.S. students. I may teach the same skill/content 3-4 times in a class period, but I feel like my students learn and retain so much more when they are in groups of 2-4. They also feel more comfortable asking Qs! #122edchat

    A3- I think that it just depends on the concept and what my ss need from me. Sometimes I just need to sit back and help facilitate the discussion and then other times I’m needed to lead in the learning. We have to be flexible and willing to adjust #122edchat
  • _on11 - Moderator Jan 2 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A4: Having specified deadlines for work completion/check-ins and specific expectations are key in this environment. If we expect students to thrive because we are adjusting variables, we need to be cognizant that they have been trained in an antiquated format. #122edchat
  • PHausTech Jan 2 @ 8:22 PM EST

  • Bill_Huber_ Jan 2 @ 8:23 PM EST
    A4: it is all about making sure you have established protocols & procedures from the very beginning of the unit. Ss need to know when there is the freedom to discuss, when they need to research, etc. If you build a culture based around trust & value it will only help. #122edchat

      RT Q5: The proof is in the pudding (or pasta) as they say. How do you use formative and summative assessments in #inquiry #PBL to know if students mastered skills, concepts, and standards? #122edchat

    Two 11th classes wrote a grant to bring Collab Screens & Flex Furniture to all ELA classes at our school; student's idea. We didn't win, but made a sample room out of my room! In 18-19, my 10th will create, fund an outdoor learning space at an elementary school #122edchat

    #122edchat A4 My Ss are in groups of 3. I have 11 groups in my room. I put my highest 11 Ss in the center desk of each group, then randomly assign the rest. #ItWorks
  • Brandon_Farrar Jan 2 @ 8:29 PM EST
    These are great ideas. Do you use a specific rubric for how to measure showing growth from first drafts to last? #122edchat

    A5: The greatest formative assessment comes through meaningful conferring. For summative assessments, discuss the criteria/standards with the students and have them develop their own summative tasks to show their learning and understanding. #122edchat https://t.co/sWLRNXxMiw

    A5- Like cooking you have to taste and make adjustments to get the best sauce, we have to do this with our ss. We have to taste/check for understanding and add/adjust to get the best results/true learning. #122edchat

    #inquiry #PBL doesn't have to be about making a 'thing" (project). It can be about making an impact! This year my curriculum follows the awareness > advocacy > action trajectory. So far so good! #122edchat

    #122edchat Our math tests are lined up to the state learning standards (TEKS). About half of our tests are scanned in to assess the progress of learning. This is a must to prepare kids for standardized testing. You need to know the Ss strengths and weaknesses and reteach weakness

  • MarisaEThompson Jan 2 @ 8:31 PM EST
    Students determine criteria, I choose the ELA standards. I use the standard itself as a single point rubric, which I love. The growth is for their Reflection Websites & teacher-less student-led conferences. But it helps me decide when to push further or congratulate! #122edchat

    It's really interesting and I've seen videos and the materials, but haven't done the search to find them! Maybe someone here knows what I'm talking about?? Students self-assess their learning/work styles and skills to self-select their teams and roles...? #122edchat

    Right? When I present to other teachers & admin, I stress making an impact over making a thing. There's way too much confusion out there about what #PBL is. I do NOT call it project-based learning for that reason. I prefer #inquiry or at least problem-based learning. #122edchat
