For your problem-solving toolkit, how about Big6 ( http://big6.com)?
There are links to articles and resources like graphic organizers, and
lessonplans.

Jamie McKenzie has a lot of stuff at his From Now On site that should
help with PBL http://fno.org/ .

http://graphic.org/goindex.html has dozens of GO s for downloading.

Subject: REF: Article search


For an upcoming inservice in conjunction with our school improvement
process I am looking for a couple of good articles covering some
specific=

ideas. These will be used a jigsaw sort of starters for some small
groups= . =


We have EBSCO Host which I used to search ERIC and their professional
collection. I also used "AskEric", GEM - Gateway to educational
materials= , the U.S. Dept of Educations site, and some of the
organizational sites su= ch as Nation Association for Secondary School
Principals, Kapan etc.  Howeve= r, we are not completely satisfied with
what we have. I am hoping that someo= ne has an idea or location for
something else.

What we are look in for;

Problem Based Learning - how to design or write or create some problem
opportunities on a small scale in curricular areas. (We have had the
best luck with this one so far but the articles we found=

all cover long term student projects and mostly at Elementary or Middle
School level)

Peer Mentors for teachers specifically related to problem solving in
curriclular areas (There is loads on Peer Mentoring for students, or for
new teachers but n= ot on helping with problem solving in the
curriculum)

Creating a "tool kit" for problem solving. (By this we mean creating a
se= t of "tools" that teachers and students can access in the problem
solving process - graphic organizers, charts, flow charts etc ) =

(For this we have been unable to find anything.)


The School SIP Co-Chairs (one of which is me) would be eternally
grateful=

for any help you could give.
