Minding your Ps and Qs for Better DQs

Monday, 13 August 2012 16:15

Over the last few years I've seen a variety of strategies employed when it comes to drafting and revising Driving Questions (DQs) in Project Based Learning (PBL). I've watched brainstorm sessions, revised and revised with participants, and even played around with the Buck Institute for Education’s (BIE) "Tubric," a manipulable that allows bodily-kinesthetic learners to discover their inner verbo-linguistic brilliance. At last, however, it seems that a simple old rule of logic is all you need. Want better Qs? Mind your Ps!

A Piece of (Someone else's) Mind

Monday, 17 October 2011 16:15

"August 22, 2011 — woscholar

I had the honor recently of going through three days of PBL training with some great Garland ISD elementary teachers. The leader was Tim Kubik from the Buck Institute for Education (BIE). I have to say, it was one of the best trainings I have been through. It was a nice combination of mini lessons, hands on work, presenting, reflection, short lecture, and more. When you have veteran teachers corralled for three days, you have to be different or else you’ll lose them. Tim did the job."

Nice to establish a shared understanding of what we do here. Take a look at the full link, if you'd like to learn more! http://scottsfloyd.com/category/pbl/
