The how, when, where, and why of the project approach

Projects, projects, projects…everyone seems to be talking about projects. But what's all the hype about?

Could projects become a valuable addition to your curriculum and program?
Could they offer better, deeper learning opportunities for the children?
How do you go about setting them up and documenting them?
Where do you find project topics?
