I thoroughly enjoyed this week\u2019s article readings about project based learning. \u00a0The first-hand account of how a teacher struggled and succeeded while implementing PBL was reassuring to me. \u00a0I love the idea of project-based learning and DBQs, but at this point for me it\u2019s all theory. \u00a0Connecting this reading with the Kindergarten Teachers\u2019 presentation really made this practice come alive for me. \u00a0It\u2019s one thing to learn about PBL and formative assessments through readings and discussions, but it\u2019s an entirely different learning experience when you get to personally interact with teachers implementing these activities on a daily basis.<\/p>\n
I think it would be really helpful to hear from an upper elementary teacher who is working on PBLs and DBQs in the classroom. \u00a0I would appreciate getting a different perspective or experience. \u00a0It was also encouraging to hear the two teachers talk about their professional learning community. \u00a0One thing I am worried about when becoming a teacher is the idea of being alone in my lesson planning. \u00a0I liked hearing these teachers talk about their collaboration with their kindergarten team and being able to bounce ideas off of each other.<\/p>\n
Coming away from class last night, I am still very lost on how to critique a rubric to determine its efficiency level. \u00a0I understand the general idea, but I am worried for my assessment project because I feel like I didn\u2019t get enough specific direction about critiquing. \u00a0During our discussion, many people had different feelings about the efficiency of the example rubric, so my question is, are differing opinions okay?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
