Transfer“Transfer is the

basis of all creativity and

problem solving. It can’t be assumed, it must planned

for and taught.”http://lib.aldebaran.ru/author/hanter_myedlin/

TransferTransfer is the “heavy lifting” teachers and learners do together that creates relevance and meaning. It’s a shared effort.

Transfer answers the question, “How can we use this in our life/work in the near future?”

What do I already know about PBL?

What do I want to find out about PBL?

So You Think You Know About PBL?A Team Challenge


True or False?Students “making something”, “doing hands-on learning”, or “planning an activity” are automatically considered to be engaged in PBL.


False!PBL students engage in:

intellectually challenging tasks leading up to activitiessolving complex and compelling problems

addressing a relevant driving questionmeeting academic outcomes

Definition: PBL happens when students are actively engaged in solving a complex problem and defend their solution in an

oral presentation or in writing


Activity-Based v. PBL


True or FalsePBL and standards based knowledge and skills are not really compatible


False!Well designed PBL:

Aligns a driving question, products and tasks with standards

Documents results with formative and summative assessment


True or FalsePBL can be of varying lengths and are primarily designed to address key standards in depth rather than a long list of standards.


True!Projects can be 1-2 weeks, a month, a semester, or longer.

Start with one or two small projects and build over time.

Collaborate with colleagues, repeat projects year to year.


True or FalsePBL works best with older students, and is less effective with english language learners and students with special needs.


False!Well designed PBL:

Is being used successfully in grades K-5 to address literacy

ELLs engage in meaningful reading & writing with peer support

Small groups provide opportunities for teachers to differentiate


True or FalsePBL can be “messy” and requires that teachers teach, and students learn a new set of skills


True!To engage in PBL effectively students need be taught how to:

Work well in teams

Manage time and tasks

Conduct inquiry

Use formative assessment to improve


True or FalsePBL requires teachers to give up traditional methods


False!Teachers using PBL can still use:

Teacher directed lessons

Mini Lectures

Textbooks

Worksheets

visual exploration1. Person A places his/her picture in the middle of the group and talks about why it was

interesting to them. (~1 minute)

2. Person A responds to a common prompt that Chris will put up on the screen. This same prompt will be used by each team member! (~2 minutes)

3. Person B will respond to what person #1 said (~2 minutes)

4. Person C will respond to what persons #1 and #2 said (~2 minutes)

5. Person A will have the last word on what everyone said about her/his picture and the prompt (~2 minutes)

6. Person #1 removes his/her picture from the middle

7. Repeat steps 1-6 with person B and then person C

8. Place all three pictures in the center. Synthesize common themes, unique perspectives, and implications for school leaders. Prepare to share!


How is your image like a school that has implemented Project-Based Learning?

1. share why you chose your image

2. each group member comments in turn

3. you get the last word on your image

4. remove your image from the middle

5. repeat 1-4 with each person’s image

6. place all three images in the center, synthesize and prepare to share!
