Project Goals with Students |
|||
| Students and teachers working together develop many successful projects. But you may prefer to develop and present the project to your students. If so, one of the most effective strategies you can use is to share the goals and context for the project with your students as early as possible. | ||||
| Relevant and Important Goals | Young people do not have to create the project in order to feel motivated and perform well. However, the goals of a project are more likely to be met if they are relevant and important to students' lives. | |||
| Share your vision | If you have planned and outlined a worthy project, share your vision with students. Let them know how the project can benefit themselves, their school, or their community. Taking special care to connect the goals of the project to the futures of the students will go a long way toward starting off a project in the most successful way possible. | |||
| Refining a project |
|
You may have a well-planned project, but students may be able to improve the plan or shape it toward their particular interests. This can be done through whole-class discussion or through a structured activity that teaches them vital listening and planning skills. | ||
