Meaningful Conversation Norms worked well for teaching students how to work together.
Science AKS are being learned.
Not having to rush through AKS has been beneficial.
Teaching students appropriate voice levels has been effective in all areas of instruction.


What are you finding challenging about the PBL process?
Multiple Intelligence activity included in the Mulberry first 20 days lessons were not age appropriate-will change for next year.
Technology!
Student research process- students struggle with knowing what databases/websites to use; they also struggle with correlating the driving question with key words to use for research.
Student Grouping according to dynamics

How do you see the PBL process affecting student learning?
Students are working better together to achieve common learning goals.
PBL project is a bonus but not necessarily primary learning tool.


Do you need any additional support? (i.e. resources or guidance in implementation)
guidance for projects-expectations
chromebook support

Having completed one full cycle of PBL, what will you change before the next PBL-cycle?
Each day is a learning experience, and we continue to find things to work on.
We want to try more team building activities. This is a constant struggle with some students.
Need to get Skype and other type of resources on the calendar from the beginning.

Additional Comments/Questions:

Jan Bradley has been very helpful throughout our project/planning.
Sharon Amolo has been helpful for setting up our Skype chats as well as coordinating a NASA skype visit on Nov. 10.
We would like more opportunities for outside field trips relevant to our projects.

Reconnecting the first 20 days lessons/ideas/purpose to a typical day of science instruction.
Minus the pacing/STEAM activities,  our classrooms don't feel that different when compared to our teammates


How do you see the PBL process affecting student learning?
More aware of how they learn and how to work with others who learn differently
Many students work together more frequently, assign roles, accept challenges.

more Chromebooks
more opportunities to work with Jan in the STEAM Lab
