Mastery Learning Means That…

• Expectations for learning are the same for all students.

• Time is flexible; Performance is not

• Standards guide instructional decisions at the classroom level.

• The focus of instruction is on student learning.

• Students may repeat courses, or work on independent studies/short term extensions on content they did not master.

Project Development Overview

Theme – the cross grade level hook.

Enduring Understanding – The understanding that students will take forward from the work developed that will make a difference in the way that they make decisions or how they see the world.

Essential Questions – Questions that enable students to make the connection between the content that they are studying and the enduring understanding. Essential Questions lead to the Enduring Understanding

Local Context Application – What makes the question relevant to the student and/or the situation in which the project will be deployed?

Project Management 9 Components Scope – the processes to insure that the work is successfully defined and controlled

Time – defining activities, putting them in sequence, making duration estimates, and developing the schedule

Cost – resources planning, budgeting, etc.

Quality – insuring that project meets it quality objectives (rubric)

Human Resources – all of the necessary processes to handle how the team will work, develop, & organize themselves

Communication – performance reporting and information distribution

Risk – involves all the procedures to handle the project risks, such as identification, analysis, risk response, risk monitoring

Procurement – the procedures used to handle equipment and materials used/needed

Integration – how will the processes work together?

Roles in a Project

Project manager - manages (is responsible for) the resources, including time, people and money, with the goal of excellence around success of the project

Relationship manager - manages the opportunities the relationship can bring, not just to this project, but to others that spawn from it. Also manages the client through the project.

Logistics Manager—manages (is responsible for) planning and coordinating resources, and schedules

Principle investigator - focuses on (is responsible for) the content of the work – is the subject matter lead

Roles are fluid based on the size of the groups, the design of the challenge, and the content area expertise that is needed to successfully complete the challenge.

Differentiation in Design Challenges

Content-What a student needs to learn

Process- What a student engages in to master the content

Products- What a student produces to show application and extension of content

The Connection to Learning

Learners need to have opportunities to progress from concrete to abstract ideas.

Learners construct their own understanding by taking an active role in their learning.
