The P3 Curriculum Framework is the vehicle to creating a school culture where the conditions exist to develop the Habits of the Heart, Mind, and Voice. P3 was born directly out of The Project School’s core beliefs and is grounded in years of lived and practical classroom experience, as well as extensive research.
The work of Project Zero at Harvard University, and in particular the Teaching for Understanding Project and Framework (TFU), served as a starting point for the P3 framework. Teaching for Understanding: Linking Research and Practice, edited by Martha Stone Wiske (with contributions from world-renowned theorists Howard Gardner, David Perkins and numerous practicing educators), outlines the body of research that supports inquiry-based instruction that fosters thinking and understanding.
