Q8: You really need to be trained in the planning process. Instructional Innovative Academy really helps. If that doesn't work, a Buck Institute PD is really helpful. #MSDR9chat
Q6: Assessment throughout is really important. As I read more John Spencer, I have tried to embed more peer feedback structures,student/teacher conferences, and student judging. #MSDR9chat
Q5: Where to start? I think recently the challenges have been how to tap into student creativity (design thinking) and how to embed assessments throughout the process. #MSDR9chat
Q4: Student voice and choice is an important part of the PBL process. I try to offer students choice of topics and the types of projects they do. I think it is important to have peer feedback throughout the process. #MSDR9chat
