Developing a Community of Learners
In addition to Diane McGrath’s PBL Web site (http://coe.ksu.edu/pbl/), which
expands on
resources mentioned in the PBL columns, with annotations and further
links,
you may also find the following resources useful.
Ann Brown & Joseph Campione’s Guided Discovery in a Community of
Learners: www.russellsage.org/special_interest/literacy/Campione.pdf. This
is a good source for understanding the authors’ methods and rationale for
actually developing a community of learners.
George Lucas Educational Foundation: www.glef.org. Read the latest online
version of
Edutopia and see movies or hear audio files of people describing
projects in
greater depth.
Sylvia Chard’s The Project Approach: www.project-approach.com.
Especially
worthwhile is the short section under Foundation Theory: Classroom,
which gives
suggestions for learning communities involved in PBL.
