  Someone's blog discussing the need for students to work in facilitated learning groups on project based learning because this is what they will face in the real world.

  • The real world is full of groups working on project teams, and part of the solution to fixing the disconnect between 21st century skills which employers say they want, and the skills emphasized in our schools, is operationalizing a learning culture in our classrooms which regularly involves project-based learning.

  As teachers, we need to be regularly facilitating student work on projects using real-world tools, as they collaborate with others in face-to-face as well as distributed work environments.

  • educators are focused on “doing what is convenient, not what is best for students.”
  • we should be focused on maximizing student achievement, but that focus has virtually nothing to do with the emphasis of NCLB and high-stakes accountability.
  • Certainly our students need to take tests and score well on them, but there is SO much more we must do and on which we must focus in our schools than simply minimum standards for student performance established by the state.

  One of the biggest challenges to embracing project-based learning as a teacher, however, is the formidable task of structuring, monitoring, managing and evaluating student work.

  Wow, this is pushback I did not expect but is welcome, Miguel. I'm not encouraging anyone to stop taking mandatory tests and stop preparing for them. I think blended learning environments and PBL contexts are the way we should help students not only obtain the content area knowledge and skills they need, but also the 21st century skills they need.
  
  I'm not encouraging teachers to be revolutionaries here in the context of refusing to do something they've been told to do. Certainly we need kids to learn the skills in the formal curriculum. We need to do that via PBL. I'm prepared to not only advocate for that here, but in the near term DO this as a classroom teacher myself. (Details to follow before long.)

  Miguel: If you have not yet listened to the Tim Tyson preso I'm citing here and agreeing with, I'd encourage you to take it in sometime soon. That will help provide more context for what I'm encouraging and supporting here.

  Good point! The real world is a place where people will work in with others under deadlines to get the job done. Why not start students working in this way in school, or in an online environment?
