PBL network meeting
Term 3 2017
Present - Silverdale, Glamorgan, Mairangi Bay, Willow Park, Forrest Hill, Dairy Flat, Northcote, Coatesville, Orewa, Torbay, Milford, Wainui and Stanmore Bay
Another great turnout, almost 60 people Wow!- Thank you everyone for being so passionate about PBL!
A huge thank you to Mairangi Bay for being wonderful hosts and being so willing to share.
Mairangi bay shared some great photos of PBL in action and explained how PBL looks like in their classes. They call it Discovery Time. Provocations were discussed - Teacher would find equipment / resources following an interest expressed the day before and often would find a lack of interest because ‘that was yesterday,’ Their PBL program is still evolving and they are trying to add something new to the program each term.
Students planning – just like teachers need to plan students also need to plan their work, letting them show off their planning has helped create motivation for doing this.

Year 2 classes will be starting PBL soon, need to look at equipment for Year 2 as need next level up of equipment, their amazing caretaker has built a lot of equipment for them which is rotated every 5 weeks between NE Year 1 classes
We then had time to look at numerous classrooms (it is always inspiring to see how other schools set up their rooms and what equipment they have)
