CBL in 5 words: engaging, ownership, creative, solution-focused, wondering

My plan is to work on a CBL activity to go engage students in my elective class: Animal Studies :)

# data[].attributes.body
CBL is:
Asking questions to foster action

My plan is to see if I can access CMAPP

# data[].attributes.body
CBL is confusing.

# data[].attributes.body

CBL is a framework for providing student-centered and engaging learning.

My plan for this morning is to begin to create a CBL lesson that I can incorporate in either my core or daily elective classes.

# data[].attributes.body
CBL is a pathway for student creativity.

This morning, I plan to continue to discover activities to help my group think through implementing CBL in our classrooms.

# data[].attributes.body
This exercise gave me guidance in how I can build a class activity of getting groups to start their challenges.

# data[].attributes.body
Victory-Being able to walk away with a process
lessons learned-A reminder that we are interdependent (we all need each other)
Needs/concerns- For teachers to truly allow their students to go through the process without "TELLING" them

# data[].attributes.body
I believe these are great springboards for use with our students. The concepts presented are real and relevant!

# data[].attributes.body
Victories: Using CBL with confidence. Wonderful ideas and projects that were presented.
Lessons learned: Sewage system. awareness of inequalities.
Concerns: How do I connect this with Math.

# data[].attributes.body
Victories: Working well with others and using each others strengths
Lessons learned:  You do not need to reinvent the wheel.
Needs/Concerns:

# data[].attributes.body
I was excited to see some of the solution that our groups came up with and knowing that the students will come up with bigger and better solutions. I learned different ways of gathering information and how to use the framework. I am unsure of my needs at this time. (probably connections/contacts)

# data[].attributes.body
Victories: As a team, we worked well together to explore and create a plan that can be implemented quickly with maximum effect across the school and community.
Lessons Learned:  Great new tools that can be used with our students to help them engage and learn. It was interesting to go through the full process and to see that it isn't as easy as it sounds at first - the students will not be able to just "phone it in," but they will (should) thoroughly enjoy the challenge and the process.
Needs/Concerns: More time to work with the tools and concepts before implementing them - but I love that this system is flexible!

# data[].attributes.body
Victory: Deriving a relevant CBL for both staff and students.

Lessons Learned: CBL is collaborative, not just student-to-student but student-to-teacher

Needs/Concerns: How to set up these touchy subjects for students to feel an equal playing field for deriving solutions.

# data[].attributes.body
Victory - Completing the framework for 1 CBL

Lesson Learned- CBL not just for my students- awesome for staff development

Needs/Concerns - Need CMAPP access as well as how to address "hot" topics with students

# data[].attributes.body
Victories:  I think I learned a lot from my group members, they helped me to broaden my thinking about what can be considered an inequality.
Lessons Learned:  time management is going to be something I need to work on and have at the front of my mind as I facilitate students as they work on challenges because each group needed a totally different amount of time

Needs/Concerns: Time management, tips for managing multiple groups working on different topics, coming up with different action activities.

# data[].attributes.body
Victories: smiling, excited faces about curriculum
Lessons Learned: everyone has a different perception and to accept and integrate them
Needs/Concerns: integrating formal testing. At the end of the day/year they have to be able to transfer knowledge and show understanding on standardized assessments

# data[].attributes.body
Victories - the motivation of bringing this challenge based learning into the classroom
Lessons Learned - Trying new and different methods of executing the plan
Needs/Concerns - getting all the students actively involved

# data[].attributes.body
Victories: I think all teams successfully worked together to create challenge that could eventually be implemented either in the classroom or with staff.

Lessons Learned: The challenges will take longer than expected in order to be thorough with the research.  It's not always easy to complete them and it takes good teamwork and dedication.

Needs/Concerns: It's difficult to plan enough time to allow for the thorough research. How do we allow for time while also making sure that we're covering the standards and everything we need to for each unit?

Good afternoon as a teacher at Carroll Magnet Middle School I am motivated by:

The use of our STEM Magnet Theme with Covey Leadership Skills embedded

PBIS

As one of the two schools in Wake County we are have 1-1 Technology using iPads implemented through Verizon/Digital Promise

School – wide implementation of CBL into instruction with the goal of increasing student engagement and performance in addition to new innovative electives being offered

These components have been successful with our diverse student population.

Through continued professional development and opportunities for the success of teachers we are preparing each of our students for future success with the ability to continually acclimate to whatever challenges they may face.
