So now I think I was wrong.
And the next steps are to implement and use PBL in my classes along with my team.

Thank you for your presentation,
. Many similarities with UBd
Which I do

# data[].attributes.body
My next steps are... I have an idea going forward but I need to consider IB learner profile. I also need to collaborate with my CT.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that I want to do PBLs but I was concerned about  SOLs paasage rate. Now I think I will just try. It seems it should work!

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think PBL took a lot of time to develop. Now I think I can start small and go from there. My next steps are to pick one of the grade level’s I teach and pick a unit I can use to start a PBL!

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think this would be too difficult to implement with my young ELs, but now I really want to try it this year! I usually work with grades K-2, and I’m going to see how I could incorporate at least 1 PBL this year.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think all students should have access to rigorous tasks through PBL’s, now I think that’s more true than ever, so my next steps are working with classroom teachers in differentiating instruction so that all students have access to this type of learning.

I used to think that PBL was too complicated for my lowest level students. Now I think that it is achievable with the right supports in place and lots of planning ahead of time. The next steps are to plan a project for the one unit this year with a more real-world emphasis.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that PBL was going to be a lot of prep and more work but once I did it I realized how engaging and fun and authentic it was for the students and I am excited about learning and doing more with my students.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think PBL meant creating all new projects. So now I think I can rearrange my driving questions and “can do’s” on my already existent projects to turn them into PBL. So my next steps are to look at each project and see how to tweak them to make them more real-life problem and solution oriented.

# data[].attributes.body
I used think PBL was important! Now I appreciate the reminder of how critical PBL is for our ELLs!!! Thank you!

# data[].attributes.headline
I used to think PBL was a program outside of the regular curriculum. So now I realize it can be incorporated within what we are already doing. My next steps would be to incorporate it into my work with Els.

As a past gen-Ed teacher, I used to think that PBLs weren’t the most efficient way of getting students to learn the content or be exposed to SOL type items, so now I think as a new ESOL teacher that PBLs can be a great way to integrate content and language development, and my next steps are to work together as a focus science teacher with my schools beginning English teacher to better plan out our weather forecaster PBL for our first unit!

Create more opportunities for my ELs to engage in school-wide activities

PBL
Great introduction

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that PBL can't be done with our level 1 ELs, and it is only possible when we have extra time in the school year. Now, I think I am able to incorporate into my lesson plans daily, small or big.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that PBL was only for expert teachers, but now I think I can start PBL for my ELS with some small project.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think PBL’s might be difficult for Level 1 students but now I think it will improve their language acquisition.  Next I will work with my team to creat a PBL.

# data[].attributes.headline
I used to think PBL will need a lot of materials, now I think I can use it in daily life, next step is to look at how I can tweet students’ needs to PBL.

I used to think PBL works better in a classroom setting, but now I think it can be done in a small group, ELD setting, and my next steps are to plan some PBL ELD lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think PBL was for only group work.  Now I think about the possibilities of using it with solo projects as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that PBLs take too much time, and they did not help us be successful on measurements such as SOLs.  Now I will try it anyway.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think PBLs were not that helpful for level 1s , so now I think that they are essential and very helpful. And the next steps are to work on differentiating to meet student needs.

I used to think PBL was a glorified group project
Now I think it is the perfect ELD environment for ELs
Next steps.. figure out how to support and implement this in my building

# data[].attributes.headline
I used to think PBL had to be group work. Now I think peer feedback can introduce collaboration to individual PBLs. My next steps are to find ways to support effective peer feedback.

That pbl was just another project.  I now know it is a real world application.  It was helpful to hear “something that someone is already doing as a career.”

I used to think that Ell students needed some language but our job is to support them even if they don't have any language.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think PBLs were too much work now I see they are just a more authentic way to help our students learn.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that PBL will be difficult with ELLs newer to English. Now I think I can accommodate so that they get the most out of it.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think... doing PBL with level 1 students is a challenge.
Now I think... with lots of support and scaffold, my newcomers can do it.
And the next steps are... creating visual/linguistic supports/scaffold to help my students have access to rigor,

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think PBL was too cumbersome

I used to think that PBL’s would not be possible for primary grade ELls, but now I see how it’s a way to engage student learning and possible for any grade.

I used to think that PBL was for higher level ELLs. Now I think I can use PBL for new arrivals. Next steps are to collaborate with colleagues to access curriculum in an alternative way.

I didn’t understand.
Now I think it’s a great opportunity.
Look at how content can cross the curriculum to plan a project

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think PBL was for young kids
And now I do believe it is applicable to all students disregarding their age .

# data[].attributes.body
Actual this is not really new to me do it hasn’t changed my thinking.

# data[].attributes.headline
I used to think that PBLs were a great way to engage students. So now I think I was right! And the next step are going to be to incorporate PNLs as much as possible in my classes this year.

That L1's and 2's can understand, create, and produce an appropriately leveled and scaffolded PBL.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think...PBLs worked best in science classes, but now I think I can use them in ELD.  My next steps are to convert learning objectives to PBL activities.

# data[].attributes.body
Now I think
It is doable

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think PBLs would be challenging for ELs but now I think they are an authentic way to give students context for language and I am excited to try it out!

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think All students Are capable of learning Now I think all students are capable of learning and I need to be provided the proper supports. Next steps provide the proper support

# data[].attributes.body
My next steps are to collaborate with the grade level teachers to provide access for our ELS

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think PBL was too language intensive,  but now I think I can provide the scaffolds throughout work time to help them grow and succeed.

I used to think the same things because I have already heard about PBLs before and used them in my class.  My next steps are increasing rigor in my PBLs that I use with my ELLs.

PBLS are easily employed for all schools

# data[].attributes.body
The next steps are figuring out to incorporate some PBLs into my teaching in a manageable timeframe.

# data[].attributes.body
it would be too hard to create a PBL, but now I feeling more encouraged.

# data[].attributes.body
Authentic Thinking
It isn't a new idea. It is an idea that is being given wings to fly. Teachers being given permission to let students drive learning.

# data[].attributes.body
It would be great to have more support/detailed scaffold/planning to implement PBL for level 1s.

# data[].attributes.headline
I used to think PBls needed to be large-scale and complex, but now I think that many smaller tasks and activities could be transformed into PBL opportunities. My next steps are to reevaluate some of my favorite classroom activities and see if they could be upgraded as PBLs.

I used to think relevance and rigor experienced through PBLs would make for meaningful language acquisition and usage (after learning about PBLs with Jeff at our school!).
Now I think it’s time to work towards amplifying appropriate linguistic considerations for ELs during collaborative planning across grade levels.
My next step is to look through the PBL breakout session slides because I heard about the sample PBL for Gr. 2-3 ELs.
