If they are not in your area of expertise they bring a fresh perspective.  We will discuss creating a PBL unit while brainstorming with a topic and standards given to us from one of the participants.","Description":"\"I can't do PBL because I'm not a very creative person.'  We hear this all the time from teachers who want to know about what goes into a PBL unit.  One attendee will have a unit created for them as those attending help create that teacher's PBL unit on the spot.  We will examine how the standards become a rubric and how they guide the students to the final product.","Link":[],"Audience":["High School","Middle School"],"Practice":"Are you ready to help build a PBL unit and learn what it takes to create an effective project?  Attendees, under the guidance of a seasoned PBL teacher, will take one lucky teacher through most of the planning required to make a successful PBL unit.  That teacher will end up with a roadmap to administer a project in his or her classroom with only minor adjustments needed for timing and the calendar.  Questions such as \"How do I create a rubric,\" \"How do I assess,\" \"How does inquiry work,\" and \" What kind of end products can be created,\" will all be addressed.","Presenter":["Chris Fancher"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Manor New Technology High School"],"PresenterEmail":["christopher.fancher@manornewtech.org"],"ScheduleSlotID":16,"ScheduleLocationID":16,"SubmitterID":123,"AdditionalComments":"I would like to attend, in person, but I am waiting to see if this conversation is selected before I commit to the cost of getting to Philly from Texas.","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":46329,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":1}}
