Involve teachers in problem-based learning
Administrators can provide opportunities for teachers to engage in problem-based learning themselves. For example, during inservice training workshops, they can present
teachers with scenarios of challenges they might face in the classroom (e.g., multilevel classes, frequent rotation of students, lack of resources) and ask them to work on them
together. Teachers can be given resources to explore (e.g., the Internet, research articles) and work on addressing the challenges. (See, e.g., www.public.iastate.edu/~nkerli/CI503/learning.html, a Web site that describes various
adult ESL student profiles and challenges for teachers to work on.)
