Assignment
1. Project Approach
the Project Approach, a specific kind of project-based learning, brings a number of advantages to
any classroom and represents best practices in 21st-century education. It fits securely within both
a long history of innovative teaching and learning practices—dating back, at least, to the 16th
century—and within the framework of today’s growing body of research on what students need
to find success and fulfillment in the current (and future) world.
the Project Approach refers to a set of teaching strategies that enable teachers to guide
students through in-depth studies of real-world topics. Projects have a complex but flexible
framework within which teaching and learning are seen as interactive processes. When
teachers implement the Approach successfully, students feel highly motivated and actively
involved in their own learning, leading them to produce high-quality work and to grow as
individuals and collaborators.
A project, by definition, is an in-depth investigation of a real-world topic worthy of a
student’s attention and effort. The study may be carried out with an entire class or with small
groups of students—most often at the preschool, elementary, and middle school levels.
Projects typically do not constitute the whole educational program; instead, teachers use
them alongside explicit instruction and as a means of achieving curricular goals.
2. Leapfrog Curriculum
The purpose of Leap Frog is to complement classroom phonics learning. So, program leaders
consulted with the Barks dale Reading Institute at the University of Mississippi in 2017 to
choose a formal curriculum. Students begin the tutoring time with a snack, then move on to the
Phonics Boost lesson. Working one-one-one with their volunteer tutor, each student completes
one or more phonics lesson. Each lesson contains several opportunities to practice and
manipulate letter sounds. Tutors adapt each lesson’s pace depending on the student’s ability to
understand and master the material. The goal of Leap Frog is to help improve our students’
reading skills. While the structured one-on-one tutoring is a large part of that, building a love of
reading in Leap Frog participants is also important. Play is important to a child’s development
and an essential element of the Leap Frog program. Therefore, the 60 minutes following tutoring
and homework is for free play or special enrichment programs. Our goal with free play is to get
the children active and outside, weather permitting. They engage in cooperative play activities
with their peers and volunteers.
3. HOSO
HOSO develops materials based on current research in hand/mind learning styles and cognitive
development. HOSO programs provide an opportunity for "discovery" experimentation.
Materials are selected and screened for play value and safety as well as science content
consistent with the National Science Education Standards.
The HOSO program has developed a three year cycle of activities so that any child can
attend the program from ages four to twelve without repetition. The themes are Structure and
Change, Science Patterns, and Energy. Within these yearly themes, specific topics unrelated
to any specific school system's curriculum are provided for the eight-week sessions fall,
winter and spring. We are continually refining the activities from the creative input of the
staff, adult leaders and children.
The four program age/grade levels are: per-kindergarten, kindergarten-first grade, second-
third grade and fourth-sixth grade.
MATHSMART is a math readiness program for four year olds developed under a grant from
The National Science Foundation. The three themes are Geometry, Number, and Chance.
4. HIPPY Program
HIPPY works along with vulnerable families with 2-to-5-year-old children, empowering parents
as first educators and strengthening children's cognitive development and skills through play-
based learning.
HIPPY is a home-based, family-focused program for parents from disadvantaged
backgrounds with children aged two to five years old. The goal of the intervention is to
promote educational opportunities, thereby reducing gaps in education and attainment.
The program uses home visiting and group meetings as the vehicle for parents to empower
themselves and to make their children school-ready.
Home visitors selected from the family’s community provide the parents with storybooks
and other resources, and train them on how to use these materials with their children.\
5. Anti-Bias Curriculum
Anti-bias curriculum is an approach to early childhood education that sets forth values-based
principles and methodology in support of respecting and embracing differences and acting
against bias and unfairness. Anti-bias teaching requires critical thinking and problem solving by
both children and adults. The overarching goal is creating a climate of positive self and group
identity development, through which every child will achieve her or his fullest potential.
