Picturing the Project Approach takes the mystery out of how the best projects are born, develop, and conclude in celebration. The beautiful photography shows students' excitement and joy as they learn about topics of interest and relevance. The different phases of a project are carefully explained. Detailed instructions are offered on creating topic webs and documentation. Examples of parent letters, which invite family participation in classroom projects, are even provided. Our early childhood faculty will use this book as a resource for years to come. Tina Carstensen Early Childhood Principal Picturing: The Project Approach is a much-needed practical and informative guide for teachers who are curious and excited about changing their young children's learning experiences to stimulate critical thinking, develop social-emotional skills, and most importantly, instill a love for learning. It is not a guide to read once and then put on a shelf; it is a guide that should be used every day to ensure young learners have experiences that build their foundation for their successful future educational journey. Vicki Denmark, Ph.D. Vice President of Innovation Advance Education (AdvancED) This book, with rich descriptions, detailed tables and vivid illustrations, provides step-by-step guidelines for using the Project Approach in any early childhood setting. The authors welcome the readers into real classrooms with real students and a strong sense of purpose. Classrooms that nurture the intellect as well as the social and emotional development of every child. This book has added more knowledge and experience about the Project Approach than any previous work on this subject. It is a true example of the best that learning / school can be.
