Possible Schools: The Reggio Approach to Urban Education (Early Childhood Education)
"Ann Lewin-Benham is one of the most remarkable builders of educational institutions of our time, and she is a great storyteller.... The Model Early Learning Center is... proof that schools in the Reggio tradition can be created even in the most challenging urban disadvantaged areas." - From the Foreword by Howard Gardner "A beautifully written antidote to current overly optimistic views and must reading for both educators and policymakers." - Edward Zigler, Sterling Professor of Psychology, Emeritus, Yale University "This honest, gripping account documents not only the real potential for applying the Reggio Emilia approach in diverse American preschools serving our neediest children, but also demonstrates the very real potentials of those children, their families, and teachers." - Sue Bredekamp, Council for Professional Recognition, Washington, DC"
