Renee Hedges and Shauna Mohler-Cooperating Teachers win Impact II Grant for Implementing Problem Based Learning in the Kindergarten/First Grade Classroom.
My cooperating teacher and I created one of the first problem based learning experience for Kindergarten and First grade students in 2004 using technology and real-life learning. Standards were met in all content areas and students were highly engaged in the 18 week process. Students used higher level thinking processes and made connections in researching an unknown birds egg found on the school grounds. Students worked in teams to identify the egg, watched a virtual hatching, contacted wild life rescue workers for assistance and created habitats using mathematical skills in cooperative groups to present findings to real life experts. Students researched needs and wants and had to defend and guide experts to care for the baby eagle at different stages. At the end, the students were able to see a virtual release of a truly saved and rehabilitated bald eagle. We were invited to present and teach other teachers how to use this type of teaching in the classroom at the Cuyahoga Valley Environmental Education Center.
