REVIEW:
Sylvia Chard, a Canadian educator and professor at the University of Alberta, created this high-quality and useful site that is a must-see for early childhood and elementary educators. Chard's approach to teaching and learning is hands-on, fun, insightful, and a sure hit with young children. The site gives an in-depth description of the theory and practice of the Project Approach, including a list of helpful examples. The site also features listservs that users can subscribe to and share ideas on. This is an important resource for innovative teachers!
