@SarahBreckley I stress comprehensibility (of which pronunciation is a part). It's graded as part of individual assessments, not overall percentage. See: AP rubric. Too much focus on "perfect" or "proper" pronunciation can raise the affective filter and inhibit communication.

Beyond thrilled to be facilitating @swlpstanford tomorrow!

@MmeCarbonneau I thought it was just me! Fall cleaning not Spring cleaning. Scrubbed my kitchen floor.

So smart to include AP students bc many times we hear that AP doesn't need PBL or somehow bc of their tests, can't use it. But AP should be authentic, should be based in inquiry and choice. PBL belongs everywhere. #LearningWeNeed @edutopia

[Heather Wells, NBCT @MmeHeatWell]

Tuning in to #LearningWeNeed Looking forward to hearing the research on how students learning thru #PBL significantly outperform!
