Synopsis

This timely volume will help teachers on the front line to tackle the key challenges they face in today’s classrooms with children ages 3–8. The authors show how good project work can provide solutions to problems that seem overwhelming to many teachers of young children.

In The Power of Projects, a group of educators including Lilian Katz:

  • Identify 5 key challenges in schools and centers today:

1. Overcoming the ill effects of poverty

2. Moving young children towards literacy

3. Responding to children’s special needs

4. Helping children learn a second language

5. Meeting standards effectively.

  • Provide guidelines for curriculum that help teachers meet these key challenges.
  • Demonstrate how the project approach follows these guidelines, providing a structure for classrooms which focuses teachers on children’s learning.
  • Introduce practical strategies with examples to maximize the benefits of project work in classrooms where teachers face these challenges.
  • Share documentation of highly effective projects that helped teachers to meet each of the challenges, including examples of children’s work.
  • Answer frequently asked questions and share practical advice.
