“Project Zero, a research group at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, has investigated the development of learning processes in children, adults, and organizations since 1967. Today, Project Zero is building on this research to help create communities of reflective, independent learners; to enhance deep understanding within disciplines; and to promote critical and creative thinking. Project Zero’s mission is to understand and enhance learning, thinking, and creativity in the arts, as well as humanistic and scientific disciplines, at the individual and institutional levels.”

I first discovered Howard Gardner and Project Zero during a conference in Reggio Emila (February 2007) – I was browsing through the conference book store and decided to purchase a collaboration between the Reggio schools and Project Zero, titled “Make Learning Visible: Children as Individual and Group Learners”
