Educationalists Jerome Bruner and Howard Gardner have said that the educational opportunities that are offered by schools and preschools in Reggio Emilia are amongst the best in the world:
“To really understand how these infant toddler centres and preschools exist, one needs to see them for oneself”.
This experience will inspire you to think more deeply about teaching and learning in your setting in Aotearoa New Zealand. As a participant you will have opportunities to reflect on:
The cultural context of Reggio Emilia
The image of the child and the teacher
The notion of the environment as third teacher
The notion of pedagogy of listening
Making learning visible through documentation
The role of the pedagogista and your role as a professional leader
And so much more…
