Sandy,
I enjoyed your article. I just spent three days at the Illinois NCLB conference. I was pleased to attend so many relevant sessions. Probably the most inspiring was put on by IMSA (Illinois Math and Science Academy) on PBL. I think you are right on target. Creating lessons based around engaging problems that are relevant to students not only decreases discipline issues in the classroom, it can really inspire students to make connections across the curriculum and empower them in their own learning. Keep up the good work.
