I’ve taught PBL, but not on this level. I’m not scientific nor mathematic, so I need to figure out how to do it in an ELA environment.

We need more teachers like you who make the children think and analyze. Learning to a test is not what the kids need.

The question really has to be asked as why the population votes for what other people consider important and yet no one seems really interested in voting (fighting) for the right of their child to grow up and learn in the BEST POSSIBLE WAY!!

Dear Anthony Johnson, this is where ‘Your teaching model’ comes into play. Hope it starts to infiltrate the main stream system…..after all, one only has to think of the modern system and how many drop outs it produces per year!! Yet when those people grow up and complain. They’re told “well look, your an Adult now, you can make what ever you want of your life’. I agree of course. Although, when hearing such comments one really does wonder what the point of the schooling system is? As in from the perspective of having the best possible outcome. Though I am of course talking about the best possible outcome of each and every new Individual rather than someone elses ‘Global Agenda’ in bringing up people to become modern day slaves! Like whats happening in the world today!!

Footnote:
Dear Parents, I’m not ”literally’ saying, that ‘You’ don’t care about the Education System’ of course you DO!! What I’m relating to is like a CREATION OF A ‘Movement’ to push out the old system and bringing in the new. Also, with the new rather improved model. Why would People have to go through different schooling systems?? Why not have the different stages of schooling within the same premise? Of course, this model could also be used remotely by people who may not be able to get to school,Plus of course ‘TEST SCORES WOULD BE PUSHED OUT TOO’ As I bet that is used on purpose so that when someone gets a low score, it also pushes down ones self esteem, creating unnecessary stress though of course depending upon the Individuals pre-disposition.
The question really has to be asked is why a system like that would be brought in? Course I do have a pretty good idea as to why. Like I am sure many of you also do….yes?

I don’t even know what to ask you.
I want to have a community classroom of learners like you describe. How do I start?
Thank you for your time.

Thanks!

I’m curious, to put your state science exam score into context, how did your previous classes fare before you adopted the PBL model?

I would love to begin project based learning in whatever school I end up in (currently a student teacher). How did you get this started? I don’t personally know any teachers who do this form of teaching and am very interested in learning how to start this method of teaching. This type of instruction and learning environment is not taught in college either. If you have any resources you could share I would appreciate it! Thanks!
