The Project Approach in Early Years Provision

The Project Approach in Early Years Provision contains advice on instigating projects that allow children to partake in self-directed investigation and undertake projects that interest them. It also offers guidance on providing an enabling environment to maximise the child's learning experience. This title explains what the project approach is, and how it relates to underlying theory and research, presents ideas on how projects can be implemented within the context of the Early Years Foundation Stage, analyses the issues surrounding this approach, including managing curriculum constraints and advises on how to plan, carry out and assess a project. This practical guide is full of ideas and examples, case studies, observation sheets and diagrams to bring this theoretical approach to life.
