Artifact for Standard 6: Collaborate & Communicate

Name of Artifact: PBL Handout

Date: November, 2015
Relation to Teacher Education Program: Assignment for ADED 42275
Where: Kent State
Why & How: This handout represents the collaborative efforts of myself and 4
other preservice teachers to develop a lesson and an informational handout packet
to help teach a problem based research scenario to my fellow preservice teacher
class. This represents the type of teacher collaboration which can help to create a
powerful lesson by bringing in the different ideas and perspectives of multiple
teachers. I believe that lesson planning with other teachers is a powerful tool which
can lead to powerful lessons for students. By planning with partners you also get
the added benefit of the lesson being taught to multiple groups of students so the
teachers can then brainstorm which parts of the lessons worked for them and which
worked best for their partners. By exchanging this type of information teachers can
help scaffold one another in areas where they might be lacking.
