Many schools make use of structured projects that are designed to enhance student learning. These projects can be individual or collaborative, short- or long-term, or student- or teacher-initiated.
Projects often start with an open-ended idea or problem posed by a student or teacher. As G.S. Morrison points out (“Reggio Emilia,” 2010), “the key feature of a project is that it is a search for answers to questions about a topic worth learning more about, something the children are interested in.”
Projects can open up new avenues of exploration. They require lots of creative thinking and problem-solving. And, they can introduce material, questions, and opportunities that often provoke children to further explore issues and questions.
Many schools use project-based learning, in some form of another. Some schools make it a central part of their curriculum, such as Reggio Emilia schools and preschools. Others offer it as an option for specific students.
Many alternative and progressive schools offer project-based learning. In addition to Reggio schools, many Montessori and Waldorf schools have individual and group projects as a part of their curriculum.
Alternative schools depart from the mainstream. They offer a teaching approach, curriculum, and learning environment that differs from what you’ll find in most mainstream schools.
Many of these schools use projects as a way to promote personalized and collaborative learning, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. And this may be part of a major focus on experiential and interdisciplinary learning.
