While these strategies focus on working with students living in poverty, they can benefit all students! awilcox8 https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271279914 2018-07-27 10:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271279914 Have a working definition of Equity: "Every child gets what they need in our school---every child regardless of where they come from, what they look like, who their parents are, what their temperament is, or what they show up knowing or not knowing." -Elena Aguilar awilcox8 https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271279945 2018-07-27 10:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271279945 EXPECT ALL STUDENTS TO SUCCEED----AND SUPPORT THEIR SUCCESS! awilcox8 https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271280006 When teachers believe students can do well - students perform better - and when teachers believe that students have deficits, they tend to perform poorly. In the context of PBL, this translates into designing rigorous PBL 
units and communicating to all students that we believe that they can succeed. Ultimately, the goal is to lead students to believe in themselves. ]]> 2018-07-27 10:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271280006 Involves projects that are rigorous and that compel students to dig deeper during the process of inquiry, thinking critically about big ideas and and issues. It may also mean using differentiation strategies to support student success. awilcox8 https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271280066 2018-07-27 10:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271280066 In ALL cases, it includes the use of formative assessment. awilcox8 https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271280127 2018-07-27 10:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271280127 PROMOTE RELATIONSHIP BUILDING awilcox8 https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271280183 PBL is highly collaborative! Relationship building is critical to establishing a classroom culture where collaboration flourishes! ]]> 2018-07-27 10:55:49 UTC https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271280183 Classrooms that have the strongest relationship based cultures are ones where students have input on establishing norms and processes, where team building happens throughout the year, and where teachers have regular opportunities to collaborate to design meaningful PBL experiences. awilcox8 https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271280233 2018-07-27 10:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271280233 EMPOWER STUDENTS awilcox8 https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271280302 -Provide them with instruction that includes them and their interests, and then let them take charge of their learning. 
-High Quality PBL focuses on challenging problems and issues that students find compelling, and emphasizes student voice and choice in project design and implementation. ]]> 2018-07-27 10:58:46 UTC https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271280302 This approach can be especially empowering when it incorporates service learning. awilcox8 https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271280353 2018-07-27 11:00:32 UTC https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271280353 Reference: awilcox8 https://padlet.com/awilcox8/rmzckj5pj2bq/wish/271280510 Mckay, F.
