Bender, a response to intervention (RTI) consultant, provides ideas and sample projects for project-based learning (PBL) and describes assessment methods such as rubrics, reflective self-evaluation, peer evaluations, and portfolio assessment. He gives advice on designing PBL projects across the curriculum and offers strategies for facilitating collaboration among students. There is also material on scaffolding the learning process to differentiate instruction, and on initiating schoolwide PBL instructional approaches. The chapter on using instructional technology in PBL discusses simulations and games, webquests and wikis in the classroom, and publication technologies for PBL projects. An appendix reviews the relationship between PBL and state curriculum standards. The book also contains many annotated lists of websites. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
