Starting from scratch: One classroom builds its own curriculum

Levy, S., & Levy, S. (1996, April). Starting from scratch: One classroom builds its own curriculum. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann.

"Starting from Scratch" presents an inspired alternative to traditional approach to education. Through detailed observations, planning, and reflection of elementary projects, Levy provides a look at the arguments of project-based learning versus basic skills; integrated curriculum versus discipline centered instruction; and state and national standards versus local and individual interests. This book illustrates how both sides of each argument can coexist in an engaged classroom.
