20. Design Principal #2 Craft the Driving Question Inquiry based learning Complexity Coherence Authenticity

21. What is a driving question? Are provocative Are open ended Go to the heart of a discipline or topic Are challenging Can arise from real world dilemmas that students find interesting Are consistent with curricular standards and frameworks

22. Generate the Driving Question http://pbl- online.org/driving_question/dqexplore/dqexplor e2.html

23. Refine the Driving Question http://pbl- online.org/driving_question/dqexplore/dqexplor e3.html

24. Use Standards to Develop a Driving Question http://pbl- online.org/driving_question/dqexplore/dqexplor e4.html

25. A Good Driving Question Should: 1)Drive the project 2)Capture a project theme or a big idea 3)Point standards toward mastery content and skills that enable them to answer the question 4)Not be easily solved or answered.

29. Questions to Ask: How well do the students know the content of the topic of the project? How well have they mastered the key skills learned in the project? How well did they apply their knowledge and skills as they prepared their project?

30. Three Steps to Planning Effective Assessments 1)Align the products or performances for the project with the outcomes. 2)Know what to assess – establish criteria to assess each product and performance. 3)Create rubrics for the project.

31. Balanced Assessment Plan Question 1 – How well do the students know the content of the topic of the project? Question 2 – How well have they mastered the key skills learned in the project? Question 3 – How well did they apply their knowledge and skills as they prepared their products?
