Project Approach--Culminating Experiences to Conclude the Project and Sharing with Others

2hrs of in-service clock hours

This training session is designed to help participants use their observation, documentation, and assessment pieces to identify concrete culminating experiences to end project work and ways to share the project work with others (families/communities). Participants will share their current observation, documentation, and assessment pieces with one another and the trainer. The trainer will guide the group in brainstorming possible culminating experiences (those which are concrete and apply multiple concepts explored through the project work). The group will create an Action Plan for a culminating experience and at least one method for sharing the work with families and the community.

Objectives:

·      To identify culminating experiences and how they support project work

·      To plan for a culminating experience that aligns with the current project work in the classroom

·      To create an Action Plan for implementing a culminating experience and sharing the project work with families and the community
