The document discusses project-based learning and outlines its key phases. It describes project-based learning as an approach where students construct personal knowledge to solve real-world problems. It emphasizes that learning is long-term and student-directed. The phases discussed are define, plan, do, manage, and review. Key aspects of each phase are defined such as establishing essential questions, assigning roles and tasks, creating artifacts, and conducting assessments and reflections. The overall approach is presented as a way to develop students' 21st century skills and connect classroom learning to the real world.

2. Project Based
Learning
 Project Based Learning is one approach to create a learning
environment where students construct personal knowledge
based on real world issues and practices.
 Learning activities are long term and open-ended,
empowering the students with the ability to make choices
and decisions.
 In these types of activities, students are more likely to
internalize the learning that takes place because they feel a
greater sense of ownership over their work when required to
make decisions based on real world issues.
 The teacher's role shifts from that of transferring knowledge
to that of a learning facilitator in this student-directed
environment.

 A Key Element in Project Based Learning
 Students have the opportunity to gain skills that are
desired by today's employer as they work in teams by
collaborating, communicating and decision making.
 They decide how to find answers, solve problems, and
present information while collaborating with teachers,
peers, and community members.

6.  Project Aim & Scope : involves key challenge the
project is aiming to address as well as other
aspects like grades ,subjects and levels like school,
national or international.
 Curriculum & Standards : to select specific topics
w.r.t learning outcomes such as enhancement in
21st
century skills.
 Essential Question : to highlight a problem that
has relevance to the real world.
THE DEFINE PHASE

7.  Student Autonomy : to be given on the basis of
age group of the students.
 Grouping Strategy : to create one group of mixed
ability and gender.
 Assessment Rubric : to maintain a judicious
balance of authentic , formative and summative
assessment by the time the project is completed.

9. THE PLAN
PHASE
 Work Breakdown: into tasks & sub-tasks to track
and manage the sequence of activities.
 Products & Milestones : to be placed in the
intervals throughout the project which help to
assess the team’s progress.
 Role Definitions : to assign task & sub-task to
each member on the basis of already existing
skills and the skills they need to sharpen during
the course of project undertaken.

10. THE PLAN
PHASE
 Task Schedule : to be planned with start and end
date of each task & sub-task.
 Resources Plan : to make a list of various
resources required.
 Direct Instructions : planned direct instructions
like ppt etc.
 Reviews & checkpoints : review meetings at
individual as well team level.

12. the do Phase
 Project Launch : launching pad to enable students
share quickly the scope & expectations thereof.
 Artifacts : provide evidence of the process of
student thinking and also reflect their acquisition
of knowledge.
 Culminating Products : incorporate everything
students have learned throughout the project.
 Celebration Completion : equally important to
acknowledge the investment of the time and energy
by students on successful completion of the project.

14. the manage Phase
 Process Management: involves application of
knowledge skills , tools & techniques to project
activities.
 Student Preparation: instructions to be given
about 2 weeks before the project launch w.r.t
prerequisite knowledge and skills
 Facilitation : creation, and facilitation of
resources will be used to enable the students to
be successful.

15. the manage Phase
 Progress Monitoring : Monitoring will be done at
individual as well as group level throughout the
project learning.
 Re-planning : will be required if there is change in the
school schedule or error in the estimation of the scope.
 Conflict Management: the lack of Self direction , self –
discipline and prerequisite skills generate conflicts
which will be managed as and when required.

 Student Reflection & Evaluation : Integrating Reflection is
important to analyse the learning project as the self-
evaluation always benefits the learning process by
improving the skills.
 Teacher Reflection & Evaluation :teacher Reflection is
must in order to have an overview of the tasks done and
further modifications / improvements in the future
projects.
 Assessment of 21st Century Skills Through Artifacts :to
develop habit of mind to explore a topic in a
multidimensional way assessments encourage
accountability , goal setting and improved performance.
 Summative Assessment & Grading : rubrics that will be
used for summative assessment.

18. Dear Educators
"When teachers and their students are
"connected" through project based
learning the "world" becomes an
indispensible curriculum resource.”
This helps steer the students’ path towards higher
education and prepares them for a productive
career path.
Thanks !
