- As a result of using the Project-based learning approach students will become more independent and teachers will be more prepared. Teamwork will be used among students who are working on projects and also among the teachers who are getting ready for their projects. By having students participate in a project-based learning approach we are setting them up for more success in the future by preparing them for the real world and having them develop their 21st century skills.
- Some ways you can "bring your project home" is to praise your students. Teacher need to acknowledge all the new skills their students have acquired so that the students know their teachers are proud of them and so that they can be proud of themselves. Teachers and students together need to share what they've done and what they've learned and reflect on things that can be changed or improved for next time.
- Both of these ideas relate to my project and future classroom because they are things that are necessary for me to do. There are a number of different benefits to participating in project-based learning and this chapter and this book has proven that it is an essential part of the classroom.

I agree with what you said about the numerous benefits to participating in project-based learning. Even us as teachers would benefit because it helps us to step back and let the kids take responsibility for their learning. That's much better than just spoon-feeding students all the answers all the time.
ReplyDeleteI agree that teachers need to acknowledge the new skills their students have learned in project-based learning. It's important to praise students and let them know that we really do care and notice what they are learning!
