Advisory Committeescontinued
Find Great People for your Advisory Committees Stay in touch with them – keep them as advisors
and consultants Don’t have friends, colleagues, or "Yes" people. Have members that can challenge you and tell you things
you don't always want to hear Meet with members individually when possible
Have meetings at alternate locations. Visit their locations. Document everything
Stay on top of the Industry
You can… Participate in Professional Organizations Stay in touch with other professionals, educators in
your field, including post-secondary. Observe what some of the best in the field are doing
and strive for that level. Expose your students to the best of the best in the
field. Give them something to strive for. Motivate them. Show them Robin's students!
Keep growing professionally. Keep learning
Implement Project-Based Learning Strategies
Validate Pre-existing Skills/Knowledge Pre-tests, Surveys, Activities Discussions
Utilize Essential Question/Key Questions The Problem Statement that gives meaning
to what they are about to undertake They see the bigger picture and are more engaged from
the beginning. They have a problem to solve. A road map Gives you direction. Gives you opportunities
to provide the right scaffolding when needed
Implement Project-Based Learning Strategies
Student Centered Have students do the research, create the notes,
make the discoveries, create new paths Have students teach, help others, share ideas
critique, make presentations You provide the bridges, the scaffolding when necessary,
rather than having them on training wheels Keep students journaling, documenting, creating
their own notes, notebooks, resources, portfolios
Implement Project-Based Learning Strategies
Collaboration Encourage teamwork and group projects when possible
Provide roles for team members, make it fun, make it competitive
Allow collaboration to promote brainstorming, think tanks, thinking outside of the box
Implement Project-Based Learning Strategies
Differentiated Learning Allow students to drive the content,
choose different routes to the same conclusion
Embrace mistakes, failures as learning opportunities.How many great innovations, discoveries began as mistakes.
Provide opportunities for alternatives,choices, individualism, ownership.
Implement Project-Based Learning Strategies
Encourage more Critical-Thinking, Analysis & Problem solving – as projects unfold Move from knowledge skills to performance skills to
higher level skills (Bloom's Taxonomy)
Identify, describe > create develop > analyze, solve
Allow them to present their findings,their final product & reflect on how they arrived there
Implement Project-Based Learning Strategies
Provide assessment and feedback often Provide formative assessments. Quizzes that don't
count. Games, activities, small projects to assess where they are.
Critique. Use guidelines for critique. Give opportunities for revising, modifying –
encourage revision as a natural part of the process. Have students reflect in journaling,
and in presentations
