Great overview of the Project Approach for teachers at any point in their career! Focused on early elementary, but easy to follow and transfer to other ages too (specifically because of a few good concrete examples).
I recommend this book for any teacher exploring the idea of using project work in the classroom! It walks teachers through each phase of the project and gives a few ideas on moving children along in the process. Would like to see examples of a teacher’s lesson plan in this process.
