Industry Reviews
"Exactly one century after the publication of a related American classic, Kilpatrick's The Project Method (1918), this book ensures that project work will continue to flourish in the inclusive early childhood education classrooms of the future. The ideas are powerful, the theory developed, the practice researched and clearly explained: this book should be available for all teachers who care about engaging young children in powerful and personalized learning." --Sylvia C. Chard, Ph.D.
