Students in the younger grades are still needing to be explicitly taught foundation skills, which isn't PBL. How do you balance that need? ]]> 2017-02-08 12:48:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinabenson/1p5gwkzusvi2/wish/152435401 rachelphillips https://padlet.com/kristinabenson/1p5gwkzusvi2/wish/152435447 It might work better if students have spent multiple years learning to work in combinations of teacher-guided and independent work, but if started with consistency from the beginning by a trained teacher, it should work.]]> 2017-02-08 12:49:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinabenson/1p5gwkzusvi2/wish/152435447 https://padlet.com/kristinabenson/1p5gwkzusvi2/wish/152435606 I believe PBL is effective for all and can be rolled out slowly for younger grades to build their independent skills. The aspects of the project can be adjusted- such as providing the resources for the younger grades and giving them the choice of how to integrate the resources. For students in the higher grade, it can be fully on the students]]> 2017-02-08 12:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinabenson/1p5gwkzusvi2/wish/152435606 https://padlet.com/kristinabenson/1p5gwkzusvi2/wish/152435632 I think it would be good for all grade levels, but I am not sure that it would work for all children ]]> 2017-02-08 12:49:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinabenson/1p5gwkzusvi2/wish/152435632 https://padlet.com/kristinabenson/1p5gwkzusvi2/wish/152435654 2017-02-08 12:49:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinabenson/1p5gwkzusvi2/wish/152435654 https://padlet.com/kristinabenson/1p5gwkzusvi2/wish/152435663 It could work all i think but pacing would an issue especially for lower grades]]> 2017-02-08 12:49:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinabenson/1p5gwkzusvi2/wish/152435663 https://padlet.com/kristinabenson/1p5gwkzusvi2/wish/152435723 I think it is good for all grades, but the younger children will need more direction.]]> 2017-02-08 12:50:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinabenson/1p5gwkzusvi2/wish/152435723 https://padlet.com/kristinabenson/1p5gwkzusvi2/wish/152435817 Was wondering the same thing!

I think it is possible for all grades.  It reminds me of the old Discovery/Aims science where students were to develop understanding throughout the process.
