The topic has to be meaningful to the student in order for it to be productive. The students are actively involved in planning, researching, and developing the project. They have the opportunity to decide on the topic, what the project might consist of, how to implement the project, and reflection on the project. My role is that of a facilitator by guiding the students, putting forth expectations, facilitating questions, and bringing the students back as a whole. Projects foster autonomy, in that, students are able to make decision and work toward goals in their learning.

After listening to and considering all ideas, students must come to a consensus on how to solve the community s problem. B. Strategies There are times in which preventative strategies do not work and there is inappropriate behavior in the classroom. These circumstances require direct strategies. It is difficult to universalize strategies for disruptive behavior.
