D1 Projects

Projects of Understanding

Projects of Understanding document the ability to apply the understandings gained in the investigations to work with children. Each participant must demonstrate the ability to positively influence the life of a child or the actions of a group of children. This is authentic assessment, just as driving a car is a performance required to get a driver’s license; one applies knowledge and skill in uncertain circumstances.
