Projects have a place in the modern classroom

The teaching of subject matter in and improved ways has characterized the educational scene since Sputnik in 1958. The new mathematics, science, social studies, and language arts have all been enthusiastically promoted. In the process of implementing these curriculum changes, however, it is possible that we are losing our humaneness, our sensitivity, and our concern for involving children intrinsically in the process of learning. In short, we are becoming so absorbed with what is to be learned that we may be overlooking the learner. How can we simultaneously focus on both the content and the child? One successful method used by the writers have been to re-tool Kilpatrick's project method for use in modern classrooms
