[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many AAP classrooms vs GenEd are there at Navy? Does it differ greatly by grade?[/quote]

my kids had 2 AAP and 4 PBL

What is with Navy parents and the use of PBL for regular classrooms?[/quote]

Legacy from 4 principals back.[/quote]

+1 Because Coch was so well liked at Gatehouse they used Navy to test things out. One of those was this "project based learning" classroom theory. So you had PBL classes and AAP classes, who didn't used the PBL curriculum. PBL reminds me of those classroom assessments kids are doing now instead of taking SOLs.[/quote]

Okay, hold up. This is the biggest load of bs. Project Based Learning is NOT a curriculum or theory. It’s ONE teaching approach that can be applied to any unit of study. Some topics are better suited to a PBL than others. As a longtime administrator in FCPS, I can promise you that calling these non-AAP classes was not some experiment from Gatehouse. This was Jon Coch making up a way to appease parents of kids not in the AAP center classes and making them feel better by calling them PBL classes. That’s all. [/quote]

Maybe he had been drinking when he came up with this idea?[/quote]

Well now he's drinking the day away in HR.[/quote]
