@PaulSolarz @the_gifted_guy @Scottteach Thank you! This was a great one for my first chat!

@the_gifted_guy A5) Mini lessons and modeling are so important. Students can practice scenarios of how to ask questions and respond to each other. #learnLAP

@ErmaLuis1 @the_gifted_guy A3) @ErmaLuis1 I agree with all of these! And for young students before you get to collaboration, students need to learn norms of listening and responding in a group to be able to communicate and work together. You are right - they will need guidance and support, too.

@the_gifted_guy A3) I think a “guided practice” model like when introducing new materials to students could be used for the first couple of projects then give more independence as the year goes on #learnLAP

@the_gifted_guy A1) In kindergarten everything is new, so establishing routines for all class procedures begins day 1 - no reason PBL can’t be one of those routines already built in! Then they will be ready and excited to get started together. #learnLAP
