What do PBL teachers say?
Use Checkpoints and Milestones
Projects can take unexpected turns and twists. Sometimes, you discover late in a project that students are not learning the core concepts required to succeed. Well planned out checkpoints and milestones, including formative assessments such as quizzes, allow you to constantly monitor student progress and adjust your planning and teaching activities as the project continues.
Why Use A Management System? A formal or informal system is necessary to monitor learning as the project progresses. Using a management system provides a means for breaking the project into seperate components that allow for revisions "on the fly", ensuring that the project outcomes will be met.
