Projects Instead of Tests
Projects Instead of Tests
In “Projects Instead of Tests,” Episode, #217, join Meredith Curtis to consider projects instead of tests for K-12 learning. Meredith shares the problems with test-taking and the benefits of hands-on projects. She gives practical examples of immersive learning that works from the beginning to high school graduation. Lots of practical ideas!

Show Notes
Chemistry background for Human Anatomy – the big surprise! A-plus Chemistry students remembered nothing the next year in Human Anatomy where I needed them to know it!
The Problem with Test Taking
Test takers – good and bad
Tests – short term memory
Purpose of learning
Should My Kids Never Take Tests?
I recommend a little bit of test taking until high school when you can add a little more.
Example: Spelling & Math
What is a Project?
Projects are hands-on learning experiences
How Do Projects Help Children & Teens Learn?
Projects Immerse students in a topic of study.
Projects Require Research into the topic of study.
Projects are Fun!
How to Grade Projects
Grade projects based on Content, Accuracy, Creativity, and Legibility. Require excellence. I love using rubrics to grade.
