Teachers know firsthand how challenging designing high-quality projects can be. This On-Your-Feet Guide walks teachers through practical steps for planning and assessing project-based learning experiences in their classrooms.

The On-Your-Feet Guide for Planning and Assessing PBL provides:

A step-by-step guide to building your project rubric
Practical tips and tools for student reflection and feedback
Steps for creating the conditions for a culture of assessment in your PBL classroom

Designed for accessibility, and providing step-by-step guidance, the OYFGs are written by experts who take research-based practices and make them doable for the busy teacher.

Each On-Your-Feet Guide is laminated, 8.5”x11” tri-fold (6 pages), and 3-hole punched.
