Beginning Project Based Learning

Help me give my students the supplies necessary to be successful as we move towards project based assessments. These projects require grid lined wall charts, construction paper, and markers in addition to standard classroom supplies.

My Project

With the move away from traditional tests and towards project based learning, it is important to provide students with the resources necessary to be successful. Project based assessments would allow me to assess my students in real world applications rather than the typical test while allowing students to demonstrate their mastery of the standards in a way which works best for them.

In order to do any sort of project, it is important that I provide the necessary resources to all students.

This includes wall charts, colored paper, and markers. All these materials are in addition to standard classroom materials that not all students have access to.

My students, no matter the course, deserve the resources and opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge through 21st century learning.
