23 Project-Based Experience
Employability Skills Project-Based Experience Project-Based learning allows students to gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging, and complex question. Students make their work public by displaying, explaining, and/or presenting it to people beyond the classroom. 2 Service-Based Experience Work-Based Experience Keep in mind that PBL is not the same as “doing a project.” As well, projects are not the same as PBL, because they are not the main objective of the unit or course. Most projects are not used as the method of instruction in the regular classroom or school program. They are not the primary vehicle for addressing content standards. They are supplemental to traditional units; PBL typically replaces a traditional unit or acts as a major part of a unit and are aligned with the state’s academic standards for a particular course. @EducateIN

24 Project-Based Experience
Employability Skills Project-Based Experience Design Principles Challenging Problem or Question Sustained Inquiry Authenticity Student Voice & Choice Reflection Critique & Revision Public Product 2 Service-Based Experience Work-Based Experience Challenging Problem or Question The heart of a project – what it is “about,” if one were to sum it up – is a problem to investigate and solve, or a question to explore and answer. It could be concrete (the school needs to do a better job of recycling waste) or abstract (deciding if and when war is justified). An engaging problem or question makes learning more meaningful for students. They are not just gaining knowledge to remember it; they are learning because they have a real need to know something, so they can use this knowledge to solve a problem or answer a question that matters to them. The problem or question should challenge students without being intimidating. When teachers design and conduct a project, we suggest they (sometimes with students) write the central problem or question in the form of an open-ended, student-friendly “driving question” that focuses their task, like a thesis focuses an essay (e.g., “How can we improve our school’s recycling system, so we can reduce waste?” or “Should the U.S. have fought the Vietnam War?”). Sustained Inquiry To inquire is to seek information or to investigate – it’s a more active, in-depth process than just “looking something up” in a book or online. The inquiry process takes time, which means a Gold Standard project lasts more than a few days. In PBL, inquiry is iterative; when confronted with a challenging problem or question, students ask questions, find resources to help answer them, then ask deeper questions – and the process repeats until a satisfactory solution or answer is developed. Projects can incorporate different information sources, mixing the traditional idea of “research” – reading a book or searching a website – with more real- world, field-based interviews with experts, service providers and users. Students also might inquire into the needs of the users of a product they’re creating in a project, or the audience for a piece of writing or multimedia. Authenticity When people say something is authentic, they generally mean it is real or genuine, not fake. In education, the concept has to do with how “real-world” the learning or the task is. Authenticity increases student motivation and learning. A project can be authentic in several ways, often in combination. It can have an authentic context, such as when students solve problems like those faced by people in the world outside of school (e.g., entrepreneurs developing a business plan, engineers designing a bridge, or advisors to the President recommending policy). It can involve the use of real-world processes, tasks and tools, and performance standards, such as when students plan an experimental investigation or use digital editing software to produce videos approaching professional quality. It can have a real impact on others, such as when students address a need in their school or community (e.g., designing and building a school garden, improving a community park, helping local immigrants) or create something that will be used or experienced by others. Finally, a project can have personal authenticity when it speaks to students’ own concerns, interests, cultures, identities, and issues in their lives. Student Voice & Choice Having a say in a project creates a sense of ownership in students; they care more about the project and work harder. If students aren’t able to use their judgment when solving a problem and answering a driving question, the project just feels like doing an exercise or following a set of directions. Students can have input and (some) control over many aspects of a project, from the questions they generate, to the resources they will use to find answers to their questions, to the tasks and roles they will take on as team members, to the products they will create. More advanced students may go even further and select the topic and nature of the project itself; they can write their own driving question and decide how they want to investigate it, demonstrate what they have learned, and how they will share their work. Reflection John Dewey, whose ideas continue to inform our thinking about PBL, wrote, “We do not learn from experience. We learn from reflecting on experience.” Throughout a project, students – and the teacher – should reflect on what they’re learning, how they’re learning, and why they’re learning. Reflection can occur informally, as part of classroom culture and dialogue, but should also be an explicit part of project journals, scheduled formative assessment, discussions at project checkpoints, and public presentations of student work. Reflection on the content knowledge and understanding gained helps students solidify what they have learned and think about how it might apply elsewhere, beyond the project. Reflection on success skill development helps students internalize what the skills mean and set goals for further growth. Reflection on the project itself – how it was designed and implemented – helps students decide how they might approach their next project, and helps teachers improve the quality of their PBL practice. Critique & Revision High quality student work is a hallmark of Gold Standard PBL, and such quality is attained through thoughtful critique and revision. Students should be taught how to give and receive constructive peer feedback that will improve project processes and products, guided by rubrics, models, and formal feedback/critique protocols. In addition to peers and teachers, outside adults and experts can also contribute to the critique process, bringing an authentic, real-world point of view. This common-sense acknowledgement of the importance of making student work and student products better is supported by research on the importance of “formative evaluation, ” which not only means teachers giving feedback to students, but students evaluating the results of their learning. Public Product There are three major reasons for creating a public product in Gold Standard PBL – and note that a “product” can be a tangible thing, or it can be a presentation of a solution to a problem or answer to a driving question. First, like authenticity, a public product adds greatly to PBL’s motivating power and encourages high-quality work. Think of what often happens when students make presentations to their classmates and teacher. The stakes are not high, so they may slack off, not take it seriously, and not care as much about the quality of their work. But when students have to present or display their work to an audience beyond the classroom, the performance bar raises, since no one wants to look bad in public. A certain degree of anxiety can be a healthy motivator. But too much anxiety can of course detract from performance – the trick is to find the sweet spot, not the sweat spot – so it’s important that students are well prepared to make their work public. Second, by creating a product, students make what they have learned tangible and thus, when shared publicly, discussible. Instead of only being a private exchange between an individual student and teacher, the social dimension of learning becomes more important. This has an impact on classroom and school culture, helping create a “learning community,” where students and teachers discuss what is being learned, how it is learned, what are acceptable standards of performance, and how student performance can be made better. @EducateIN

25 Project-Based Experience
Employability Skills Project-Based Experience A product is not in itself project-based learning (i.e., digital portfolio) Some courses count for the project-based experience, but completion of a course doesn’t automatically result in meeting this requirement Grounded in Buck Institute for Education’s “design elements” 2 Service-Based Experience Work-Based Experience Keep in mind that PBL is not the same as “doing a project.” As well, projects are not the same as PBL, because they are not the main objective of the unit or course. Most projects are not used as the method of instruction in the regular classroom or school program. They are not the primary vehicle for addressing content standards. They are supplemental to traditional units; PBL typically replaces a traditional unit or acts as a major part of a unit and are aligned with the state’s academic standards for a particular course. @EducateIN

26 Service-Based Experience
Employability Skills Service-Based Experience Service-Based Learning can be classified by three core components: Integrating academic study with service experience; Reflecting larger social, economic, and societal issues; and Collaborative efforts between students, schools, and community partners. 2 Service-Based Experience Project-Based Experience Meaningful service - actively engages participants in meaningful and personally-relevant service activities Link to curriculum - intentionally used as an instructional strategy to meet learning goals and/or content standards. Reflection - incorporates multiple challenging reflection activities that are ongoing and that prompt deep thinking and analysis about oneself and one’s relationship to society. Diversity - promotes understanding of diversity and mutual respect among all participants. Youth Voice - provides youth with a strong voice in planning, implementing, and evaluating service learning experiences with guidance from adults. Partnerships - are collaborative, mutually beneficial, and address community needs Progress Monitoring - engages participants in an ongoing process to assess the quality of implementation and progress toward meeting specified goals, and uses results for improvement and sustainability. Duration and Intensity - sufficient duration and intensity to address community needs and meet specified outcomes. @EducateIN

44 Accountability How does this impact my letter grade?
The A-F grade will continue to include a performance domain component, which currently measures the proficiency rate of the 10th grade cohort on the ISTEP+ Grade 10 assessment. All students in the 10th grade cohort must take the ISTEP+ Grade 10 assessment for accountability purposes, regardless of whether the student pursues the Graduation Pathways.

45 Accountability Do students still have to take the ISTEP?
All students should take the ISTEP+ Grade 10 during their grade 10 year, regardless of whether they pursue Graduation Pathways. Beyond grade 10, there is no requirement for the student to continue to retake the assessment, if pursuing the Graduation Pathways in lieu of the graduation exam. While students don’t have to continue to re-test, to qualify for a graduation exam waiver, the student has to take the assessment(s) not passed at least once each school year after the first year of administration. To allow the student all possible options to graduate, it might be important to have the student retest at least once each school year, in case he/she needs to qualify for a graduation exam waiver (if he/she doesn’t meet Graduation Pathways).

46 College Entrance Exam (retest)

47 Accountability How does the ISTEP impact our letter grade?
There is a grade improvement metric in the accountability system that provides “bonus” points for schools that increase the overall pass rate of the cohort between grade 10 and grade 12 (how many students passed ISTEP by the end of grade 12 minus how many students passed ISTEP in grade 10). That being said, in most instances this bonus provides only fractions of a point, if that. Therefore, the lack of this calculation in your school’s accountability system would not hurt the A-F grade; it could just potentially provide very little additional points, if any.

48 Accountability How does a Graduation Pathway waiver impact our letter grade? The accountability system measures four-year graduation rates for a school. The graduation rate looks at all students in the cohort who received a diploma within four years. Students with waiver diplomas and non-waiver diplomas alike count as graduates. Therefore, a student who earns a diploma by satisfying the requirements for a waiver from the graduation pathways will count as a graduate and does not negatively impact the school’s graduation rate.
