ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS What is Project/Problem-Based Learning? How is PBL different from traditional
approaches to teaching and learning? Why is PBL appropriate for the
intervention classroom? How are PBL units designed? How does research support PBL?

What is Project/Problem- Based Learning?
Let’s Brainstorm (List) all the things
we think of when we hear this…

Practical Applications If even a quarter of the people in Texas
were to ride their bicycles to work, we would all be healthier, save money on gas, and significantly reduce CO2 emissions that lead to global warming…
BUT MAN IT’S Can’t someone make air conditioning for
bicycle riders?

Research says that Project/Problem-Based Learning Increases student motivation and engagement
in learning. Is more effective that traditional instruction in
increasing academic achievement. Improves student retention of knowledge over
time. Improves mastery of 21st century skills. Is especially effective with lower-achieving
students.

Step 1. Develop a Project Idea Suggestions:
Work backward from a topic. Use your standards. Find projects and ideas on the Web.
www.bie.org Map your community Match what people do in their daily work. Tie the project to local and national events. Focus on community service.
![Page 38: Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S.hmking.sharpschool.net › UserFiles › Servers › Server...Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S. Kingsville Independent School District](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c21676a12a230007101ae/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Step 2: Define Scope of Project & Level of Student Autonomy. Duration Breadth Technology Outreach Partnership Audience
Who selects the topic? Who defines the learning outcomes? Does the teacher solicit student
input? Do the student and teacher negotiate
learning outcomes? Who defines the products and
activities? Who controls the timeline and pace
of the project?
![Page 39: Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S.hmking.sharpschool.net › UserFiles › Servers › Server...Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S. Kingsville Independent School District](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c21676a12a230007101ae/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Step 3: Select Standards Identify the key standards that you believe might
best be met through project based instruction. Assign no more than 3 standards per subject for
shorter projects. Adjust accordingly for interdisciplinary or longer-term
projects. Don’t plan for outcomes you cannot assess. Be clear
about the standards assessed & how the products will allow each student to demonstrate their learning.
Include at least one 21st Century Literacy outcome in your project.
![Page 40: Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S.hmking.sharpschool.net › UserFiles › Servers › Server...Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S. Kingsville Independent School District](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c21676a12a230007101ae/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Step 4: Determine Simultaneous Outcomes Teachers incorporate more than academic
outcomes into classroom activities Specific skills (being able to work in groups,
manage projects, meet deadlines, present information, think critically, solve problems, use technology efficiently)
Habits of mind (curiosity, flexibility, perseverance)
![Page 41: Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S.hmking.sharpschool.net › UserFiles › Servers › Server...Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S. Kingsville Independent School District](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c21676a12a230007101ae/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Step 5: Set Project Criteria Does the project
Meet standards? Engage students? Focus on essential understanding? Encourage higher-level thinking? Teach literacy and reinforce basic skills? Allow all students to succeed? Use clear, precise assessments? Require the sensible use of technology? Address authentic issues?
![Page 42: Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S.hmking.sharpschool.net › UserFiles › Servers › Server...Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S. Kingsville Independent School District](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c21676a12a230007101ae/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Step 6: Create An Optimal Learning Environment Give your project one or more connections
beyond the classroom (partnerships, electronic linkages with distant people, mentorships, etc.)
Alter the look and feel of your classroom (partition room for group spaces; make the classroom look like an office or laboratory).
![Page 43: Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S.hmking.sharpschool.net › UserFiles › Servers › Server...Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S. Kingsville Independent School District](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c21676a12a230007101ae/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Create a Balanced Assessment Plan: Stage 2
![Page 44: Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S.hmking.sharpschool.net › UserFiles › Servers › Server...Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S. Kingsville Independent School District](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c21676a12a230007101ae/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Balanced Assessment Plan Formative assessments allow you to give
feedback as the project progresses. Product checkpoints will not only help
keep students on schedule, but it will also help them refine and improve their work
Summative evaluations that provide students with a culminating appraisal of their performance.

Align Products with Outcomes. Planning effective assessments requires that
you work backwards to align the product or performances for the project with the outcomes.
This requires: Identifying culminating products for the project Using multiple products and providing feedback to
students Using artifacts – evidence of the process of student
thinking – to assess learning skills or habits of mind
![Page 46: Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S.hmking.sharpschool.net › UserFiles › Servers › Server...Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S. Kingsville Independent School District](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c21676a12a230007101ae/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
How will products allow students to demonstrate their learning? If the project asks students to demonstrate
proficiency in three areas, each outcome must be assessed and included in one or more of the components of the products for the project.

Use Rubrics Scoring guide that differentiates levels of student
performance Provides clear description of proficient student
work Guide for helping students achieve & exceed
performance standards Work best when accompanied by exemplars Powerful when students apply rubrics to
previous student work
![Page 52: Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S.hmking.sharpschool.net › UserFiles › Servers › Server...Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S. Kingsville Independent School District](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c21676a12a230007101ae/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Effective Rubrics Are based on an analysis of student work. Discriminate among the performances by
targeting the central features of performance Provide useful and appropriate discrimination to
allow for sufficient judgments regarding performances.
Use rich descriptive language that allows for students to verify their score and accurately self-assess and self-correct
Allow us to remove much of the ambiguity as we recognize levels of performance
![Page 53: Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S.hmking.sharpschool.net › UserFiles › Servers › Server...Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S. Kingsville Independent School District](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c21676a12a230007101ae/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
When building your rubric, Language used to label the scale should
reflect performance in relation to a standard (below standard, above standard, exceed standard, etc.)
Be sure to use enough points to accurately represent the degrees of student performance.
![Page 54: Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S.hmking.sharpschool.net › UserFiles › Servers › Server...Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S. Kingsville Independent School District](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c21676a12a230007101ae/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
When applying criteria to the elements and scales: Describe which criteria apply to different
aspects of performance Write criteria that describe behaviors or
results that be easily measured or observed.
Determine which criteria are critical for the assignment
Begin your rubric with a description of exemplary performance.

Caution! When there are central ideas that
everyone should understand or critical skills that everyone should obtain, structure group work so that all students learn the common core concepts.
![Page 60: Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S.hmking.sharpschool.net › UserFiles › Servers › Server...Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S. Kingsville Independent School District](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c21676a12a230007101ae/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Caution! Begin with powerful, central ideas or
complex concepts and then plan activities around this content. Design so that the challenge associated with the project is in discovering and using subject-matter principles.
![Page 61: Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S.hmking.sharpschool.net › UserFiles › Servers › Server...Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S. Kingsville Independent School District](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c21676a12a230007101ae/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Caution! Emphasizing technology in place of
content can take up time, encourage “splash” at the expense of deep learning, and mask the fact that students have not done sufficient work to solve the problem or address the issues raised by the Driving Question.

Assessment & Evaluation
![Page 67: Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S.hmking.sharpschool.net › UserFiles › Servers › Server...Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S. Kingsville Independent School District](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c21676a12a230007101ae/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Assessment & Evaluation: Quizzes, Tests, Presentations Quizzes should be given regularly with opportunities for
remediation. Tests should assess content knowledge in the same way it would be
on State assessments. Presentations should be delivered through group participation
If you choose to conduct individual defense portions of the project, know that it will take time, but are hugely effective!
All assessments should be followed by a culminating evaluation with: Structured Reflection Self Evaluation Peer Collaboration Scoring Assignment of Bonuses/Rewards Project Debriefs
![Page 68: Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S.hmking.sharpschool.net › UserFiles › Servers › Server...Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S. Kingsville Independent School District](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c21676a12a230007101ae/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Culminating Evaluation The following questions should be
addressed in the culminating evaluation: What did we learn? Did we collaborative effectively? What skills did we learn? What skills do we need to practice? What was the quality of our work? Where can we improve?
![Page 69: Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S.hmking.sharpschool.net › UserFiles › Servers › Server...Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S. Kingsville Independent School District](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c21676a12a230007101ae/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Important Note! Students who have the opportunity to
discuss, analyze, and reflect on their learning experiences are more likely to retain and use their knowledge and skills.
![Page 70: Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S.hmking.sharpschool.net › UserFiles › Servers › Server...Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S. Kingsville Independent School District](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c21676a12a230007101ae/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Final Thought End With a BANG, Not a Whimper! The last day
of a project should not be, “OK, turn in your papers and here’s the test. Our next unit begins Monday.”
When you begin developing ideas for projects, envision your students presenting their work to an involved audience.
The project should end with a sense of pride, excitement, and celebration.
![Page 71: Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S.hmking.sharpschool.net › UserFiles › Servers › Server...Octaviano James Beltran III, B.S., M.S. Kingsville Independent School District](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c21676a12a230007101ae/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Quick Quiz! (Take 3 minutes to jot down your answers)
Why is it important to transform the context under which learning occurs with PBL?
Why are artifacts (progress journals, notes, schematics, etc.) important?
What is different between formative, check point, and summative assessments?
A key characteristic of PBL (one of the Six A’s) is Authenticity and Applied Learning. Changing the context of the learning environment is the
only way to influence these effectively.
They allow students and teachers to monitor student progress and growth towards meeting checkpoint goals, and make the larger project seem more
manageable.
Formative: occur while the student is learning & provide the student with guidance on content progress. Checkpoints: occur while the student is learning, but provide the student with guidance on product development. Summative: occur after learning occurs & evaluate both content and product.

In my life, what is success, and how do I get it? Students will conduct extensive research and self-evaluation in defining success and goal-setting and processes for the future.
success, adversity interview, trait survey, overcome inventory perseverance resilience perspective “arena of life” evaluate extensive research Media/multi-media Justify characteristics
1.What is success? 2.What goals do I have for this school year? High school? Life? 3.What will I need to do/ change to achieve my goals? 4.What skills do I need to develop?
Students will create a report on the qualities or traits successful people have to be posted on school website Student will create PPT to be shared with class that includes 1)def. of success; 2) role models; 3) goals; 4)plan of action
