Faculty Cohorts
Project Based Learning Cohort
Description
In Spring 2017 our team embarked on a semester-long cohort with Middle Learning faculty to learn and plan to implement a project-based learning (PBL) lesson/project/unit. For each session we planned some explicit instruction, an engaging activity, and an exit task that would support faculty to plan their own lesson/project/unit for implementation in Fall 2017. We utilized many resources from the leading PBL resource, the Buck Institute for Education.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this cohort, learners will be able to:

Objectives
At the conclusion of this cohort, learners will be able to:
- Define a project.
- Identify benefits of project-based learning.
- Demonstrate project ideation and implementation through the design process (sometimes called backwards design process).
- Identify components of a measurable learning outcome.
- Describe effective methods of scaffolding, including the zone of proximal development, checkpoints, critique protocols, and managing effective at-school project work time.
- Explain effective assessment protocols for a project’s process valued over the product.
- Explain purpose and methods for effective project reflection protocols.
