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.

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.
