Think of the strategies you are using now in your classroom. Be as specific as you can as you brainstorm what you are already doing that is excellent. Make plans to add more good strategies and build on the ones you are using now.

1. What kinds of projects do you organize for your students?






 2. What sources of information do you use? What sources of information do the students use?
3. Do the students collect data and produce new knowledge or are they summarizing what they find in resources?






 4. Do the students work in groups or independently, or both depending on the project?
5. Do activities offer expression of various learning styles?






 6. How do students share their projects?
7. How do you assess student performance?






 8. How would you describe your role as teacher? Do you give exact directions for completing a task. Do you help students choose strategies according to their needs, model your thinking process?
