“One of the most powerful instructional instructional metaphors to emerge in recent years is the idea of the classroom as workshop. Under the model, elementary and secondary classrooms are no longer merely locations where information is transmitted. Instead, they become real working laboratories or studios, where genuine knowledge is created, real products are made, and authentic inquiry pursued.”
