Resources on Early Learning

The Project Approach

Resources on the Project Approach are now available on the Illinois Projects in Practice (IllinoisPIP) Web site, which is designed and maintained by the Illinois Early Learning Project.

What is a Project? A project is an in-depth investigation of a topic undertaken by a class, a group of children, or an individual child in an early childhood classroom or at home.

The Illinois PIP site includes a variety of resources, including definitions, research, examples of projects, an online template for teachers to use to share descriptions of their projects, and Lilian Katz’s blog highlighting aspects of the Project Approach. To access the site, please go to http://illinoispip.org.

NOTE: There may be publications on this page that are available as PDF (portable document format) files. To be able to read these files, download the free Adobe Reader.Illinois State Board of Education
