Capstone for Grad School - Reggio Emilia
Beginning my reading about the Reggio Emilia Philosophy - I begin to wonder if this philosophy, or parts of it, could be incorporated into our American Grammar Schools. Reggio Emilia, developed in Italy in the 50's, is a pre-school philosophy that truly appeals to me. I think the studio, or the atelier, in each classroom is amazing and the idea of learning through self discovery is a wonderful way to learn. The teacher is more of a facilatator. Can our American schools become more concerned about the child as a creative individual and let them speak in all languages? It would take a huge change in our teaching practices. I look forward to reading more about the Reggio Emilia Philosophy and how it incorporates the studio (atelier) into the classroom environment. Will talk again soon.
