When working on planning in PLC's we need to ask each other how we are allowing the students to take ownership. What are decisions that they could be making but we are making for them? We also need to hold each other to this standard and not break apart and change what was decided.

Create more projects that are both varied and engaging. Even though I am letting my students loose they have to follow the itinerary given in order for them to enjoy the sightseeing the most.  If one decided to explore outside the itinerary then why not?! That is another thing we can explore and have students learn a new concept altogether.

This teacher went cold turkey with the teacher led instruction, teacher controlled delivery. I don't feel comfortable with that, because what happened in his experience is sort of my nightmare. I definitely like the idea of students choosing their projects. I also have some hesitation about the pacing part.....isn't it important to set some sort of pacing guidelines so that there is a finished product? I get that sometimes in learning it is the adventure and the process that is important, but in the performing arts there is an end product that has to be finished and perfect and ready to be presented complete with a neat little bow.
