Project Approach work is based on an interpretation of both the teacher and the student as researchers who co-construct knowledge.
In this interactive and "hands-on" workshop teachers recreate the actual steps their students will go through in project work. Participants are guided through the three phases of project work: choosing and researching a topic, documentation/ reflection and group presentations. As this happens participants
- Learn how to integrate art authentically into the academic curriculum.
- Address how multiple points of view deepen learning.
- View slides of the presenter's study tour to Reggio Emilia, Italy.
- See examples and hear from teachers who have successfully implemented projects in their classrooms.
- Have an opportunity to work both independently and in teams with colleagues.
The Project Approach is appropriate for a spectrum of educators, administrators and artists who are working with students at varying developmental stages and ages.
This workshop is offered as a class for individual participants from various sites and is also available for whole staff development, addressing site's specific concerns. The workshops are taught by Arlene Shmaeff, Associate Director, Professional Development.
