Post-Convention Survey
Giving students the ability to choose and build their own projects encourages creativity in our students, teaches them valuable design skills, and promotes retention in your CTS programs. So why are you not using those project credits? Probably because they are too hard to plan and assess. Scott will demonstrate how he gets students to set goals, develop their own marking criteria, and then self-assess their own projects.
It's a win-win for everybody!
