The Reggio Inspired Approach

 

1. The image of the child: all children have potential, construct their own learning, and are capable.

2. Community and system: children, family, teachers, parents, and community are interactive and work together.

3. Interest in environment and beauty: school and classrooms are beautiful places

4. Collaboration by teachers: team, partners, working together, sharing information, sharing in projects.

5. Time not set by clock: respect for children's pace, time table, stay with teachers for several years, and relationships remain constant.

6. Emergent curriculum/projects: child-centered, following their interest, returning again and again to add new insights.

7. Environmental stimulation: encourages activity, involvement, discovery, and using a variety of media.

8. Documentation: observing, recording, thinking and showing children's learning.
