About Project Construct
For almost 30 years Project Construct trainings have been helping teachers provide constructivist early childhood education for children birth through age seven.
Project Construct incorporates curricular goals and assessment tools that are linked to standards and reflect current knowledge about how children learn.
Constructivism
Project Construct is derived from constructivism–the theoretical view that learners construct knowledge through interactions with the physical and social environments.
Constructivist theory assumes that learning is due more to the reorganization of ways of thinking , of building upon the “known,” than to development alone or the accumulation of facts alone.
Our Classrooms
Project Construct classrooms incorporate many of the activities found in traditional classrooms, such as, pretend play and block building, but have a clear emphasis on cognitive objectives.
A feature of a Project Construct classroom is its emphasis on needs of individual children.
Our Teachers
A Project Construct teacher takes into account and supports varying abilities of individual children, using developmentally appropriate practices and child-initiated experiences.
Project Construct Approach
Supportive, collaborative, child-centered environment in which all children flourish.
