"This book dispels the myth that breadth and depth of thinking is limited by a person’s age or physical size. The authors provide pictures of practice where teachers strongly influenced by Project Zero, Habits of Mind, and Reggio Emilia share examples of the accessibility of these wonderful ideas and the power they have in fostering deep thinking, understanding, and learning in students. Reading about children utilizing technology and students leading the learning in their classrooms open eyes and minds to stories of the possible."—Karin Morrison, co-author of Making Thinking Visible: How to Promote Engagement, Understanding and Independence for All Learners"If you want to know what Project Zero ideas look like in practice, this volume is for you. Throughout these essays you'll meet students who are reasoning with evidence, asking provocative questions, building deep understandings, solving real-world problems, and making their thinking and learning visible. You'll also meet their teachers—inspired educators who have thoughtfully adapted Project Zero frameworks to a wide variety of settings. From Michigan to Marblehead, from South America to Southern Europe, the essays in this collection offer a range of classroom examples that illustrate how young learners can be encouraged to think critically and imaginatively for themselves." —Shari Tishman, Senior Research Associate at Project Zero, Harvard Graduate School of Education
