Just Ask the Children Dot Schuler

Just Ask the Children describes the journey of changing from traditional instruction to incorporating the "Project Approach" in a second-grade classroom. It contains many practical, specific examples of how to use The Project Approach to complement systematic instruction and curricular assignments. Using the "Project Approach" to complement the required curriculum created a positive and productive learning environment for everyone. From the Foreword by Lilian G. Katz, PhD: "Ms. Schuler's work makes a very strong case for the way good project work can have positive effects on tests of basic skills". From the Preface by Dot Schuler: "My book will hopefully diminish uncertainties and concerns from teachers who are hesitant or doubtful about using the Project Approach in their classrooms solely because of their prehension of assuring that their students are prepared for mandated tests".
