Project based learning (PBL) is gaining renewed attention with the current focus on college and career readiness and the performance-based emphases of Common Core State Standards, but only high-quality versions can deliver the beneficial outcomes that schools want for their students. It's not enough to just "do projects." Today's projects need to be rigorous, engaging, and in-depth, and they need to have student voice and choice built in. Such projects require careful planning and pedagogical skill. The authors--leaders at the respected Buck Institute for Education--take readers through the step-by-step process of how to create, implement, and assess PBL using a classroom-tested framework. Also included are chapters for school leaders on implementing PBL systemwide and the use of PBL in informal settings.
Examples from all grade levels and content areas provide evidence of the powerful effects that PBL can have, including
* increased student motivation and preparation for college, careers, and citizenship; * better results on high-stakes tests; * a more satisfying teaching experience; and * new ways for educators to communicate with parents, communities, and the wider world.
By successfully implementing PBL, teachers can not only help students meet standards but also greatly improve their instruction and make school a more meaningful place for learning. Both practical and inspirational, this book is an essential guide to creating classrooms and schools where students--and teachers--excel.

When ghostwriter Roxy Parker accepts a job at a tropical island resort, she expects little more than a good story and a touch of sunstroke. Instead she stumbles upon her hotelier client, murdered and buried in a plot of sand, her head protruding ghoulishly for the crabs to devour. And around her, an ensemble cast of glamorous guests who are all hiding something behind their over-sized Gucci sunglasses. In this modern homage to Agatha Christie's Evil Under the Sun-and the second in the Ghostwriter Mystery series-sassy writer Roxy Parker finds herself on a remote island retreat with a collection of fabulously wealthy guests, shifty locals and biased police officers, all of whom she must rely on to help solve the mystery of who killed resort owner Abigail Lilton. Abigail's daughter, Helen, is pointing the finger firmly in the direction of the hotel staff and guests. Each has a secret worth killing for. Yet Helen's life is also in jeopardy and Roxy must solve the mystery before the death knell strikes again. As the cocktail-sipping ghostwriter attempts to piece that fatal morning together she encounters knife-wielding villagers, macabre local traditions and an island paradise where the ghosts of past mistakes still linger behind every coconut tree. With a cracking pace, tropical setting and eclectic cast of characters, this mystery will have you scratching your head until the final, Hercule Poirot-style conclusion. And it will make you look twice at your fellow guests next time you take that innocent island holiday...

Описание:
When a dying man utters Roxy Parker's name with his final, gasping breath, the gutsy ghostwriter is thrown into the middle of her most baffling-and brutal-murder mystery yet. Why would a man Roxy barely knows call out her name on his deathbed? What did he give her that holds the key to his murder? And is it linked to a mysterious burglar who is hot on Roxy's trail? Thus begins the next breathtaking adventure in the Ghostwriter Mystery series. In this instalment, Roxy is hired by the dead man's distraught daughter to find a missing black and white photograph. It's an image from the 1970s and looks innocent enough but behind the smiles of the six people in the photo, hides a secret so chilling, even Roxy Parker will be caught off guard. As our sassy, merlot-swilling heroine races to find the picture before the burglar beats her to it, she quickly discovers that two of the photographed are now dead and there are more corpses to come. In C.A. Larmer's most confounding mystery to date, it's not just about murder, it's about cold-blooded revenge.
