I began this journey with questions, questions, questions. I end this portion of the journey with many questions, yet armed with some answers. One of the answers I have is that nothing prescribed will work completely. I certainly understood this, but have wanted to find a way to implement project-based learning that felt 'right'/'correct'. Ironically, I despise one-size fits all education, but was searching for the holy grail of PBL to make the messy feel more comfortable.
If I create frameworks (length, groupings, support, resources, goals, assessments) that don't match needs of learners, address enduring understandings, etc, I have the potential to 'harm' students in some way. That is the current that runs beneath the exciting, engaging adventures of Project-Based Learning.

Ahhhh...I wonder what this feels like? |
