Just Ask the Children describes the journey of changing from traditional instruction to incorporating the ÒProject ApproachÓ 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 ÒProject ApproachÓ to complement the required curriculum created a positive and productive learning environment for everyone.
From the Foreword by Lilian G. Katz, PhD:
ÒMs. SchulerÕs work makes a very strong case for the way good project work can have positive effects on tests of basic skills.Ó
From the Preface by Dot Schuler:
ÒMy 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 apprehension of assuring that their students are prepared for mandated tests.Ó
