The culminating stage of a big project is enhanced by student, teacher, and parent mentoring and modeling.
For example:
College and high school graduates volunteered time to edit presentations.
High school graduates mentored our fourth grade film crew with film production tips and tricks.
Colleagues welcomed and guided student presenters into their classrooms.
Our fourth grade presenters mentored our younger students by presenting their research, knowledge, and creativity.
Parents volunteered their time to edit, guide, and manage our young researchers.
Mentoring and modeling is a critical component of learning, one that students both look forward to and learn from.
Modeling and mentoring is an integral part of optimal project base learning. How can our learning communities move to incorporate this practice with greater regularity and effect?
