Windows on Learning

Now more than ever, there is expanded interest in and deeper appreciation of the documentation of children's work as seen in the growing influence of the Reggio Emilia Approach, authentic assessment, and other alternative ways of judging children's academic achievement. In this first book to actually explain the mechanics of documentation, the authors show how documentation (which includes narratives, photos, drawings, videotapes and captions) allows children, teachers, and parents to learn more from each school project. Renowned educator Lilian G. Katz provides a foreword to the volume. The text is heavily illustrated with many examples of children's work documentations.
