Project Construct | Kids International

Project Construct is an approach to teaching in the preschool, primary, and elementary grades that is based on what we know about learning. The project, begun by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (MDESE) in 1986, incorporates theory-based curricula that are linked to state and national curriculum frameworks and standards.

Project Construct is derived from constructivism—the theoretical view that learners construct knowledge through interaction with the physical and social environments. Through "hands-on, minds-on" experiences, students in Project Construct classrooms attain deep understandings in the core content areas, while they also learn to work collaboratively with adults and peers and to be lifelong problem solvers.
