Too often teachers and students doubt their own abilities to forge collective work and dynamic critical learning in the midst of education reform practices that limit their opportunities to do so. This doubt can be heightened for elementary school teachers or even their students who are led to believe that they are not capable of engaging critically with their education and their world. The ProblemSolution Project erases this doubt through merging servicelearning, critical pedagogy, and constructivism. This approach to teaching and learning is designed to empower teachers and students while they meet curriculum standards and actively contribute to the transformation of their world. Unique to this collection are the reported experiences of teacher educators who implement ProblemSolution Projects in their courses; preservice teachers’ reflections on cohortdriven ProblemSolution Projects; and firstyear and veteran teachers stories featuring ProblemSolution Projects initiated by their PK5 students. Features include: • Describes how ProblemSolution Projects advance servicelearning and critical pedagogy. • Discussion of how ProblemSolution Projects build on curriculum standards but resists standardization of implementation and repressive education reforms. • Firsthand accounts of teachers implementing ProblemSolution Projects. • Detailed description of the steps and outcomes of doing ProblemSolution Projects with preservice teachers, inservice teachers, and elementary students. • Examples of ProblemSolution Projects across courses, subjects, disciplines, and contexts. Readers will find worthwhile the theoretical connections and the practical applications. Servicelearning, urban education, multicultural education and teacher education, teacher preparation practitioners will find this text beneficial. The main audience: teacher educators across disciplines, pre and inservice teachers working in elementary (PK5) settings.
