| Project Work: | Projects, also emergent, are in-depth studies of concepts, ideas, and interests which arise within the group. | | | | Representational Development: | Development is a presentation of concepts and Hypotheses in multiple forms of representation-print, art, construction, drama, Music, puppetry, and shadow play. | | | | Collaboration: | Collaborative group work, both large and small, is considered to promote children's social emotional development. | | | | Teachers as Researchers: | The teacher is a teacher-researcher, a resource and Guide as he/she lends expertise to children. | |
| Documentation: |  | | Documentation is a key in the learning process for children, teachers, and parents to see children's development over time. | | | Environment: | | Great attention is given to the look and feel of the environment documentation of children's work and collections are displayed at the children's and adults' eye level. |
