Questions, Questions, Questions!

Recently I put a handout from the North American Reggio Emilia Alliance in your mailboxes. The subject of the handout is Frequently Asked Questions Related to the Reggio Emilia Educational Philosophy. Hopefully this can serve as an additional resource to you while you continue to question your certainties about the work going on every day in your classrooms.

My April provocation to you is this:

You already have the "techniques" of teaching.

This month, focus on deepening your knowledge to find new ways
of helping children learn on their own.


How do you frame your own questions about your children's work?


How do you look at what your children are doing and then do something else with their work?


Revisit.


I really look forward to hearing what you've learned about your work.
Happy Spring!
