Students take walk through history - TimesDaily.

FLORENCE - Fourth-graders from throughout the Florence school district got a firsthand dose of the American Experience at Florence High School on Tuesday. The school’s 10th- and 11th-graders donned costumes and played the roles of the country’s earliest American settlers to modern-day history makers. The American Experience project, which included more than 50 high school student groups, offered displays of the various time periods in the two gymnasiums on campus.

As students passed through the stations, they earned “passports” marking their visits to each time period. The project was a joint effort of the English and history departments at the school. Those faculty members developed a year-long curriculum integrating the two disciplines daily, which, for a five-year period, will take the place of students taking the history or graduation sections of the Alabama High School Graduation Exam. “The (fourth-grade) teachers have loved it and said their students were very engaged,” Oliver said. Six Affirmations for PBL Teachers. All great teachers do great work. And not only that, but they also do different work. Great teachers are always looking to improve practice, steal ideas and try new things -- all in order to meet the needs of their students. PBL teachers are no exception. Any teacher who is truly doing PBL would also agree that it's different.

There is something about being a PBL teacher that requires different work, and work that is especially capitalized when implementing a PBL project. 1) PBL Teachers Collaborate with Each Other Although PBL teachers often start out with projects in just their own subject area, most create integrated projects with teachers of other disciplines. 2) PBL Teachers Give Power to Students Through voice and inquiry, PBL teachers constantly reflect on how students can have more power in their learning environment. 3) PBL Teachers are Learning Environment Designers 4) PBL Teachers are Student-Centered PBL teachers know it isn't about them. 6) PBL Teachers Really Plan.
