Creating our assessment plan was equally challenging and quite simple. I think for me the idea behind PBL is still a little disconnected from my grading (assessing learning) philosophy. When I think about grades, I think about 2-4 pieces of carefully chosen or created evidence that shows student progress toward a specific standard.
PBL, while clearly aligned to content standards, has a scope that it much broader. In my world, you would want to have an assessment or evidence piece for each of the standards incorporated into the PBL. That seems like it would take A LOT of fun out of the project. I guess my struggle is/was how do we create formative and summative assessments that address the progress toward and completion of the project goals and not just a single standard. I LOVE the idea of incorporating PBL into my classroom. I think I would need to go through the process a couple of times though before I felt comfortable being able to pull my content standard grades out when appropriate while still allowing the project to open kids to 21st century and technology standards.
