Special Education Teacher
Hello everyone,
I just got the email about the PBL summer camp today and am very excited! This workshop will be starting just as my summer master’s class ends…so I am excited. I am a special education teacher with certifications to teach k – 12. I teach special education students between the ages of 13 - 18 who have been highly/repeatedly traumatized and have behavior challenges. This year I am teaching science, health, life skills, and history. Our students have a variety of diagnosis including ADHD, PTSD, ODD, NVLD, attachment disorders and a whole host of other diagnosis that impede and interfere with traditional learning. I love PBL and have tried it somewhat sporadically in the past. I am self taught in the area of PBL but having gone to college during the whole language era, I do have a propensity for going off book frequently and finding knowledge in the real word. I am ready to implement PBL in my science classes to start and would eventually like to expand them into the other academic areas I teach. SO I am very ready to learn more and gather new ideas then put them to use with my kids. BTW, we did a lot of work and study about the oil spill when it occurred and my students wrote some pretty angry letters to Tony Hayward.

Hello
I am homeschooling my 11 year old son and am an adult education teacher and Education Director at the Learn More Center in North Manchester, IN. I have been wanting to implement more Project Based Learning into my child's and my adult students' curriculum. I have around 25 to 30% of my students who are working in the pre-GED level skills and they need something else besides "the same old same old" lessons. Looking forward to the camp.

Hello Everyone! I am a 5th
Hello Everyone! I am a 5th grade teacher in the Bronx. I have been reading a lot about PBL 's at Edutopia. I wanted to learn strategies that will make learning real for my students. I would like them to gain the experience of working in a group to solve actual problems. I hope to learn alot myself over the next four weeks and bring this experience back to my students and school in the next school year. I look forward to learning and collaborating with everyone.

Hi! I teach gifted students at Oriole Beach Elementary which is located across the Santa Rosa Sound from Pensacola Beach. These kids are directly affected by the oil spill that is occurring in the Gulf. I've had an interest in using PBL in my resource classroom and I wanted to incorporate the spill into my curriculum next year so this is perfect. I look forward to learning more!
