Workshop Agenda
Session 1
Jay will examine the characteristics of rich tasks and projects (PBL).
He will present a variety of practical and proven tools for the development of authentic tasks to engage students in meaningful learning and for assessing important learning outcomes (e.g., 21 st century skills) that often fall “through the cracks” of conventional testing.
A compilation of excellent web-based resources will be shared.
Session 2
Jay will go deeper into the topic by reviewing a set of task variables to consider when designing, selecting and implementing authentic tasks and projects. He will put forth a provocative vision of Curriculum Mapping 3.0 based on these ideas.
Finally, he will discuss the instructional implications in preparing students for authentic performance tasks.
