[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So teachers that love these - which of you are explicitly teaching skills for succeeding in these projects? There seems to be zero scaffolding to help kids succeed. Teachers also seem not to admit that they don’t have the skills to properly grade or monitor the projects/participants. [/quote] How extensive is your experience? Have you really popped into multiple classrooms to see what teachers do/do not have the skill to do? I personally hate group work, but I have to incorporate it. It takes a day of prep to even begin group work at the start of the year, talking students through the various pitfalls and looking at scenarios. We review midyear. As for monitoring, it’s HARD. Group work days are more work for me than straight lecture. (Another reason I hate it.) I also have to grade the project PLUS each individual’s work reflection, so that adds to my load. [/quote]
