8 Needs For Project-Based Learning In The 21st Century

https://wegrowteachers.com/8-needs-for-project-based-learning-in-the-21st-century/

We tend to think of project-based learning as focused on research, planning problem-solving, authenticity, and inquiry. Further, collaboration, resourcefulness, and networking matter too–dozens of characteristics “fit” into project-based learning. Its popularity comes from, among other characteristics, its general flexibility as a curriculum framework. You can do, teach, assess, and connect almost anything within the context of a well-designed project.

Response: The Role of Student Test Scores in Teacher Evaluations

http://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/classroom_qa_with_larry_ferlazzo/2018/08/response_the_role_of_student_test_scores_in_teacher_evaluations.html

How do we know if teachers are teaching? How do we know if students are learning? We don't need high-stakes tests to tell us this information. We need administrators who visit classrooms on a daily basis, noting the teaching and learning they observe. We need to look at students as learners over time with samples of work and their own thoughts and reflections on the learning. We need to have conversations about thinking and learning and encourage risk-taking and innovation for teachers and students. When everyone feels afraid to try because jobs are riding on how an 8 year old answers a multiple choice question on a random day in May, it makes you wonder what these high-stakes assessments are really accomplishing.
