Questions Emerge….
How do we create a rigorous, relevant, student–centered learning environment that
better prepares all students for the 21st Century?
![Page 10: New Technology Foundation ™ 21st CENTURY LEARNING: THE PROJECT APPROACH.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e625503460f94b5e714/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Questions Emerge….
How do we measure these skills?
How do we capture the students growth in these skills over time?
How do we engage students in the learning process to build these skills?

SESSION OBJECTIVES
Address these questions through Project Based Learning (PBL) as an instructional strategy to address state content standards and 21st Century Skills
Share school wide strategies for assessing and reporting 21st Century skill development to students and parents.
Share other school wide initiatives which support PBL and 21st Century Learning.

HIERARCHY OF NEEDS FOR A 21ST CENTURY SCHOOL
STUDENTSUCCESS
INSTRUCTIONALPRACTICES
Pedagogy, methodology andassessment are consistent with the
school’s purpose & supported by the structure.
SCHOOL STRUCTUREFacilities, daily schedules, school calendars,
course offerings, instructional methodologies and assessment practices are inline with purpose.
SCHOOL PURPOSESchool has a clear sense of purpose around student outcomes and can
measure it’s success against those outcomes. Students know how schooland class work will help them be successful in meeting their own goals.
SCHOOL CULTUREStudents and staff feel safe, trusted, respected
and well known by others. Parents feel welcome and listened to. Schoolhas strong ties to business and community.
The hierarchy of needs for school change informs us that without addressing issues of culture, purpose and structure, our attempts to improve instructional practice are very difficult to sustain.

PBL vs. DOING PROJECTS
Projects:
PBL: Students are pulled through the curriculum by a driving question or realistic problem that provides a “need to know” the material. Lectures and readings are integrated into the problem as the students need the information.

Traditional assessment methods do not reinforce 21st Century skills nor do they give meaningful formative feedback to students.
Technology can be used to support a system that encourages teachers to provide more authentic assessment of student performance.

SOME FINAL THOUGHTS
A LENS FOR OUR WORK:
1. If students are to be well prepared for their futures, they must become active learners who can collaborate, communicate and problem solve
2. We should look to change the traditional role of teacher and student in the classroom. PBL enables the teacher to act as a coach and have the students interact with experts in the field.
3. Technology is a powerful lever for change when combined with other factors and can support more rigorous, relevant instruction when designed to do so.
