Notes: "The Making Learning Visible Project is a collaboration between research groups based at Project Zero at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Cambridge (Massachusetts) Children's Center, the Cambridgeport School, and the Ezra H. Baker and John Simpkins schools (Dennis-Yarmouth school district).

The Making Learning Visible Project draws attention to the power of the group as a learning environment. In the first phase of MLV (1997-1999), Project Zero, a research group at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, in collaboration with the Municipal Infant-toddler Centers and Preschools of Reggio Emilia, Italy, explored documentation as a central component of group learning and produced a book: Making learning visible: children as individual and group learners. In phase II (1999-2002) Project Zero researchers collaborated with prekindergarden to grade 8 teachers from the Cambridge Children's Center and the Cambridgeport School in Cambridge, MA and the Exra H. Baker and John Simpkins schools in the Dennis-Yarmouth, MA school district. Together they explored how the ideas emerging from the Italian context and practices could enhance preschool, elementary, and middle-school education in the United States.
