Approaches to Learning: Incorporating Critical Thinking and Differentiation into Project-based Learning Outcomes

Participants in this 1.5 hr. workshop, will compare project-based learning outcomes and use their analysis to backward map the lesson such that it hits the skills and thinking objectives desired. Teachers will be introduced to several free online programs that allow students to create diverse projects and stimulate the novel application of learned content. Teachers will then consider how to match each learning tool with desired curriculum standards by writing an assessment that aligns with their learning goals.
