DescriptionExperience the Power of Project-Based Learning!
Preschoolers have a natural curiosity and love to explore their surroundings! Engaging them in the project approach means involving them in investigations. Of topics that capture their interest and are valuable for their understanding. By incorporating this approach into the curriculum, teachers can align with the Nebraska early learning guidelines while fostering a genuine enthusiasm for learning among their students.

Over the course of this two-day workshop, participants will learn from fellow colleagues who were trained in the project approach and have been implementing it over the past two years.

Skills/activities include:
· Delve into project phases, key experiences, and roles of educators and students
· Emphasize the creation of inclusive, high-quality learning environments
· Examine a variety of real classroom projects that were designed and implemented
· Actively engage in a guided process for developing a 4 to 6 week study, including lesson plans to implement the following school year

As an added bonus, participants will receive Sallee Beneke’s book, The Project Approach for All Learners: a Hands-on Guide for Inclusive Early Childhood Classrooms.

Don’t miss this opportunity to transform your teaching and to ignite passion and curiosity in your students like never before
