If only I had this when I was teaching,
By Tristan de Frondeville "Because 'getting it' ... (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Project Based Learning Handbook: A Guide to Standards-Focused Project Based Learning for Middle and High School Teachers (Spiral-bound)
I taught for ten years as a high school math teacher between 1990 and 2000. During that time, I was constantly trying to bring the 'real world' into my classroom by creating projects and problems that replicated reality and engaged my students with as much passion for the subject as possible. I often got plenty of passion, and lots of great mathematical reasoning. I often had the kids writing math papers so that they had to explain their reasoning in detail. However, I was frustrated when trying to teach them to prepare more thoroughly for their oral presentations, or to work more cooperatively and produce equal effort in their groups.
If only I had had this Handbook on Project Based Learning. There are very clear guidelines on how to take ideas for a project that you already have, or to create one from the curriculum you already teach, and to then map out a highly focused, thoroughly engaging, tightly managed, standards based project, including ideas for authentic assessment through artifacts which support the student's time and effort(phone logs of group communication, meeting notes, library research logs) as well as rubrics and forms for planning, managing and assessing the work throughout the project. You will be amazed at the work that your students produce when you add only some of the ideas in this book. The book is so rich with material that each year you can add a few more of the suggestions to your project until it is a dense, rich, powerful learning experience that your students will talk about and remember for years.

Best Training Guide for 21st Century Learning,
By
This review is from: Project Based Learning Handbook: A Guide to Standards-Focused Project Based Learning for Middle and High School Teachers (Spiral-bound)
I highly recommend the PBL Handbook to teachers aiming to facilitate student learning for the 21st Century. This handbook is, in my opinion, the best training guide available to help middle school and high school teachers design and implement rigorous, relevant, and challenging student projects.
The PBL Handbook draws from the best work of leading practitioners from the PBL community, including Handbook author Thom Markham, Ron Berger, Linda Ullah, and Paul Curtis. PBL at New Tech High School (Napa) utilizes the same methodology and practice as the BIE Handbook. Both New Tech Foundation (NTF) Director of Curriculum Paul Curtis and New Tech teacher Megan Pacheco contributed to the handbook. NTF utilizes the handbook in training teachers from the growing national network of New Tech High Schools.

Outstanding resource for teachers,
This review is from: Project Based Learning Handbook: A Guide to Standards-Focused Project Based Learning for Middle and High School Teachers (Spiral-bound)
The Buck Institute's PBL Handbook is a great resource for any teacher who wishes to create a more meaningful educational experience for students. Very few teachers have had any experience or training in implementing content based projects and this guide provides step-by-step instructions in developing PBL units. The handbook is also full of examples and ideas that come from the classroom. We use the PBL Handbook extensively in training all of our incoming staff members.
