Next week in 5th Grade Cog: We will start a Problem Based Learning project called "From Here to There". A Problem Based Learning or (PBL) is Project Based Learning is a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging and complex question, problem, or challenge. Solving highly complex problems requires that students have both fundamental skills (reading, writing, and math) and 21st century skills (teamwork, problem solving, research gathering, time management, information synthesizing, utilizing high tech tools). With this combination of skills, students become directors and managers of their learning process, guided and mentored by a skilled teacher.
16 Habits of Mind are essential for students to use in the classrooms of today
Student Success Skills (21st Century Skills) we will use all year!
