Classroom Project Management Tools

Projects are one-time, multiple component jobs that require a team to complete.

The teacher is the project manager for a complex project. The project team includes bus drivers, cooks, lab instructors, librarians, custodians, campus administrators, psychologists, counselors, school nurses, special education teachers, and others.

The teacher is given the responsibility for this project, and the task is to build individualized learning experiences for about twenty to maybe thirty students. The teacher is not given the authority to manage this project, nor is the teacher given an adequate budget or enough resources such as Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), Team Members (staff help: aides and clerical help), or materials.

It is a paradox of teaching that a teacher, with all this help on their project team, would feel so isolated and alone. This paradox exists because the teacher does not have the authority to direct other members of the project team. The fact that this relationship is backward is a fact of a teacher’s role that teachers must learn to accept.

Project management is a systematic set of procedures that define the following steps or stages:

Define the Problem that the Project will Resolve

Brainstorm Solutions and Options
Plan the Project
What needs to be done?
Who will do what needs to be done?
How will the project be done?
By when must the project be done?
How much will the project cost?
What resources do we need?
What are the risks and threats that might ruin or delay the project?

Work the Plan

Assess, Monitor, and Control the Project
Are we on target?
What must be done to get on target…stay on target.
Should we change the plan to make our outcomes better?

End the Project

What was done well?
What could we have improved?
What else did we learn from this project?
Files for initiating, managing, tracking, and controlling projects

Homework help is plentiful and readily available especially now in the connected world we live in. If you are finding yourself burdened by biology assignments, we outline some pointers to get assistance.

Textbook answers

Most textbooks you use in your course have accompanying answer booklets. An online search of the author’s name plus the key phrase ‘answer book’ might yield the answer booklet. You can purchase the answer booklet and use it to tackle assignments derived from class textbooks.

Hire a tutor

Consider the option of getting remedial lessons from a tutor if you are finding it hard coping with your assignments. A tutor will take you through the course content and a pace suited to you, provide assistance during homework and act as a personalized teacher.

Online searches

The internet has all your answers. An online search in the context of your work can reveal answers and additional information. Some websites allow you to ask questions on a range of topic and provide answers either for free or for a fee. Post your questions there to find solutions or find posts of similar questions and browse the solutions offered.

Online help

There are sites which offer dedicated biology assignment help to students at a fee. Usually, you are provided an online tutor who not only does the work for you but also gives a step by step explanation of the solution. They are easily reachable and are available at your convenience. Such sites provide a cheaper option compared to physical tutors.

Fellow students

Join or form a study group with your classmate to tackle assignments and other course related matters. Reaching out to your fellows helps you get a broader picture and a different perspective to what you are studying. Study groups are a great way to tackle assignments via the shared knowledge pull.

School Mentors

It’s important to have mentors in school. These can be students in higher classes who are performing well academically or teachers. Cultivate a working relationship with your mentors and approach them with your problems. Since they have more knowledge and experience, they will often have the solution you are looking for.

A mix of both traditional and modern technologies have been presented to help you get the best help to complete your homework. That said, you have to do your part by choosing the option or mix of options that best suit you.
