After watching the video about PBL in the discussion, I was interested in learning more about PBL and thinking of ways to incorporate into my small groups or even as a whole class activity when I am co-teaching or providing push-in special education support. While thinking about how great the activity could be, I never really considered what could go wrong throughout the process. This link to another teacher's article gave me ideas on what to consider and look out for when planning a project. For example, it mentions reviewing the district calendar for holidays and when school would be closed and the project would be on hold. I would have to consider as well special events like field trips, any assessments, and special activities at my school site before starting to plan. I never even thought about reviewing the calendar until reviewing this site.
