Judy's webinar starts with... "as you know, outcomes based learning is...etc." My problem with this course, is that I do not have this knowledge to start with. I am a children's librarian who works in a public library. I do not have the assumed level of knowlege. Therefore, this topic is a challenge. I am planning on writing a summary of my undertanding of project based learning below, and then exloring the role of the TL in response to this.
Project based learning is a way for students to aproach a complex question by engaging with curriculm content while developing '21st Centry skills' such as collaboration, communication and cirical thinking in a digital world. rather than a text book centred aproach. It includes both group work and individual work, and the project can be a few days long, up to an entire semester long.
By introducing project based learning, the TL can take their place as a school leader.The role of the teacher librarian as curriculum developer is an important one. Taking teachers and students out of their classroom, to expore a new learning environment. TL's are perfectly placed to be leaders in learning innovation and creativity.
