Do you have any suggestions how to effectively incorporate PBL protocols in a Kindergarten Special Education class?  We have a class of 8 students who range from autistic to learning disabled.  Some have weak fine motor skill issues.  We try to make every lesson fun and have the students teach me.  They love it and go exploring. 

We use all modalities - songs for auditory, lots of visuals, tactile.  We do movement every morning. 

We want to design a Social Studies/ELA/Science lesson using PBL that’s appropriate to our students.

Thoughts?

Have you researched Expeditionary Learning yet? I think it is more applicable to the primary years than Project-Based Learning, although it falls under the same general umbrella.

The Project Approach website might have helpful resources:

Since you don’t have a group of kids that suffer from the same illness, it’s quite hard to integrate what you want, but you could try individual plans. Sometimes I even apply PBL concepts in my international business mba class. Being creative is the most important aspect of achieving what you want. Good luck and keep in touch!!
