Young Investigators has been expanded to guide today’s teachers
through the process of conducting meaningful investigations with
young children. This fourth edition of the bestseller begins with a
new chapter, “How Children Really Learn,” which summarizes
insights from mind-brain education research, showing how
experiences firmly rooted in children’s curiosity and interest
build intellectual capacity. The book then introduces the Project
Approach with step-by-step guidance for incorporating child
initiation and direction into curriculum while simultaneously
addressing content standards. A new focus on critical Teacher
Decision Points uses fresh-from-the-classroom examples to show how
teachers think through project work. The emphasis on STEM
experiences has been expanded to include STEAM through a new
chapter, “The Role of Project Work in the Arts” This book makes
project-based learning possible with the youngest children
(toddlers through 2nd grade) who are not yet proficient in reading
and writing, but capable of deep, focused thinking. Throughout,
readers empathize with teachers’ concerns, witness how they find
solutions to challenges, and feel the excitement of children during
project work. Young Investigators is appropriate for teachers new
to using the Project Approach, as well as for those who already
have experience. Book Features: • Examples of projects from child
care centers and preschool, K–2, and special education
classrooms. • Instructions for incorporating standards and STEAM
skills into project work. • A variety of experiences to help
children connect to the natural world. • Toddler projects that
reflect knowledge from recent mind-brain research. • Tools for
integrating required curriculum goals and for assessing
achievement. • A Teacher Project Planning Journal that leads
teachers through the major decision points of project work. •
Full-color photographs of children engaged with projects. • A
study guide for pre- and inservice teachers (available at
www.tcpress.com).
