1 cassette (28 min.).
SUMMARY: “A discussion of the benefits of project-based student learning and how this can be tied to educational standards and assessment of students. An elementary school teacher and two high school teachers describe their experiences with this form of education. The teaching rubrics developed for each assignment clearly indicate to students the expected standards, giving them the opportunity to meet or exceed expectations. This facilitates assessment of student projects. Computer technology can be used by teachers to plan student projects and track assessment, and by students to develop, build and demonstrate their work. A CD-ROM and several we sites are recommended as resources for educators.” Audience: A  AV Booking # VR3299
