Project-Based Homeschooling: Mentoring Self-Directed Learners by Lori McWilliam Pickert
5.0
Excellent introduction to STUDENT directed project based learning, which is certainly not the usual fare in the world of project based learning. Most books, websites and school programs offer teacher directed PBL.
I loved the discussion about setting up the environment. Also the author's comments on the need to make PBL a reality/focus by setting specific "project times", by having goals, and most especially by modeling the process really resonated with me.
I did wish that there was a little bit more focus on older kids. Some direction on how to start with older kids would be useful. Also a little less focus on art as the culmination of the project would have been nice, but this is probably a function of the focus on younger students.
