Participants in this workshop use the Descriptive Review of Children’s Work, a process developed by Pat Carini and teachers at the Prospect School and Center, to look closely at the work of individual children. Presenters will guide small groups of attendees through the process and provide time for reflection and questions on the process. The archive of children’s work collected by the Prospect Center is now housed at the University of Vermont, and information about its significance and how to access it will be available.
