PBL supports the Profile of the SC Graduate in allowing students not just to memorize required knowledge that is connected to a specfic state standard. Students are exposed to persue deeper understandings of a concept that they are interested in while learning other valuable life skills such as collaboration, time managment, cooperation, decision making and even self evaluations. One goal is to help other teachers along with myself in tackling interdisciplinary units with the goal of one day becoming multidiscinplinary. ELA is a great jumping off point to connect Social Studies as well as Math is to Science. This past year I worked on developing historical fiction of the Holocaust along with a variety of different literary resources.

I think the pbl project will help students understand that mathematics is what makes the world go round. Through research students will begin to see the relevance of Algebra in the real world and how they can use pbl to make logical decisions. I want to be the guide on the side not the sage on the stage.

I'm hoping that creating a PBL unit will reinforce concepts in math and push students to the next level. I am planning to look at the curriculum and start with one unit at a time to incorporate PBL. It is my goal that students will be able to apply the math knowledge that they have learned over time and new concepts through their choice of assignment.

As a social studies teacher I feel PBL will turn more of the learning over to the students versus being given the answer in advance. It make them become Indiana Jones.  As a coach I can set the framework and they fill in the blanks.

PBL assignments will strengthen analytical skills for the students and therefore, they will become more confident as new obstacles/assignments come their way.

Students will investigate a global issue. Research and reading informational text will be the focus. Science, social studies and math will be integrated.

Students will take ownership of their fitness scores and take action to improve those.

It will allow my students to grow and learn through a organized process. However, it will allow for choices and creativity. Through this process of learning the students will be able to create questions, problem solve, critique others, and find solutions.

I am working on a pbl unit of study currently in a graduate course on teaching of reading and writing in the content areas where I want teachers to be able to utilize the pbl process and structure to create a unit of study that provides students with opportunities to use authentic informational reading/writing/research skills within a pbl /prbl approach.

Designing a pbl unit in cells where my students will have opportunities of choice and voice in a real-world problem and learn with trial and error to prepare for the overall goal. They will apply what they know to create proposals that are supported by based research.

PBL is going to place the accountability for learning into the hands of the students.  So many times my students would look to me for all of the answers, but with PBL and individual choice, the answers won't always be the same.  I can be a facilitator and provide them with feedback and troubleshooting opportunities, but they will be responsible for stepping up and moving forward and growing through the process.

I plan to implement a PBL unit that focuses on Art History. I believe this will help engage my students in a collaborative project that enables them to experience student choice, research, and inquiry. They will be presented with an essential question that is standard based, giving them a problem to solve, address and answer through art.

I am interested in designing a PBL unit that supports students transition goals within their IEP. I hope for students to gain deeper understanding of real world expectations and opportunities available within the work force.
