Steps+to+a+Successful+PBL+Project

**DO YOU HAVE A PLAN?** Meet with the District Technology Integrator to come up with a plan on integrating PBL into your class. Using the Lesson Plan Worksheet ([|JSDPBL Lesson Improvement Template.docx]), you will have 2-3 meetings to discuss:
 * is this a new or revised project?
 * what is the essential questionand objectives of the project/lesson?
 * do you want to use a technology you've used in the past or something new to you and/or your students?
 * what core standards and NETS are you wanting to address?
 * what is the project/lesson timeframe and/or timeline?
 * would you like team-teaching support?
 * do you need assistance with creating an assessment?

**LEARN SOMETHING NEW!!** This is a great opportunity to participate in free professional development through in-district training.
 * Intel
 * Thinkfinity
 * New technologies (see PBL Resources page)

**THUMBS UP OR THUMBS DOWN?** Using this survey, assess your overall experience with incorporating PBL into your classroom.
 * what worked in the project?
 * what didn't work?
 * did you see any learning differences in your students?
