The Reggio Emilia Approach arises from the hypothesis that people form their own personalities during the early stages of development. We discuss about this and the reasons as to why the Williamsburg Northside Preschool employs Reggio Emilia as a teaching method.
The early learning center preschool daily application is inspired by the philosophy of Reggio Emilia which is divided into 5 parts. Read the blog to know more about these 5 parts.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. WHAT IS REGGIO EMILIA APPROACH?
It is an innovative and inspiring approach towards early childhood education.
It is not a method. It is a specific approach to the needs of the community.
Values the child as capable, strong, resilient, rich with wonder and knowledge.
It is focused on pre-school and primary education.
Influenced by the theory of Lev Vygotsky, which states that children co-construct
their theories and knowledge through the relationship they build with other people
and surrounding environment.
Practices many of the fundamental aspects of the work of Dewey, piaget and many
other.
Expressive arts play a major role.
6. WHEN AND WHERE WAS IT STARTED?
The first school was established.
It was originated in the town of Reggio Emilia in Italy.
Reggio Emilia is a prosperous town that boasts a strong cultural heritage and
historic architecture.
It was the first school which was established soon after the world war.
It was built by the parents with their own hands.
Loris Malaguzzi, a young area teacher.
He dedicated his life to the development of Reggio Emilia approach.
Loris termed the concept of “Rich Child”.
8. FUNDAMENTALS OF REGGIO EMILIA
APPROACH
Education based on interrelationships.
The unique Reggio teacher.
The environment as the third teacher.
Long term projects as vehicle of learning.
The importance of documentation. Documentation as communication
Real life experiences.
The child as protagonist, collaborator, and communicator.
The teacher as partner, nurturer, guide, and researcher.
9. PRICIPLES OF REGGIO EMILIA APPROACH
The image of the child: They believe strongly in a child with unlimited potential
who is eager to interact with and contribute to the world.
They construct their own learning which they are capable of.
This is the child who is driven by curiosity and imagination.
Reggio Emilia approach even caterers to the children with special needs which are
included in all the levels of mainstream education.
Reggio approach considers early infancy as a developmental phase in which
children demonstrate an extraordinary curiosity about the world.
10.
11.
12. Expressive arts: It is a vehicle for learning. (Hundred languages of children).
They are encouraged to participate in varieties of expressive art activities like
sculpture, dramatic play, shadow play, puppetry, painting, dancing, music, ceramic
constructions and writing.
They give importance for developing all the areas of learning and not only focused
on linguistic and logical.
Children are extremely expressive, sharing the feelings and emotions. So the
imagination plays a key role.
Importance for the learning process.
Experience the world in different ways. Eg: encouraging the children to make
pictorial representations using smells or noises.
17. Progettazione: Child centered curriculum.
Teachers observe closely, listen to them carefully, give value to their own ideas so
the teacher can gain the understanding of what interests children the most.
Topics are selected based on the children’s interest or family or community.
Projects do not follow any rigid timetables.
They allow children to solve the problems themselves.
They develop love and trust between the adult and child and children themselves.
18. ROLE OF TEACHERS
Each child as an individual person.
Provides support and encourages the child on the learning journey.
Enormous respect for children’s theories and hypotheses. Teacher and children
remain together for a 3yrs duration.
The teacher is also a researcher into the ways in which children learn.
Educators spend a huge amount of time in observing children in small groups.
19.
20.
21. Documentation: children’s learning journey. It is the assessment for children’s
learning.
Fundamental to the teacher’s role is the documentation of the children’s learning
process.
Observe, document and analyze the child’s learning journey.
They use variety of means in creating documentation including audio and video
recordings, photographs, drawings and written notes.
Teacher’s understanding of the child’s capabilities and possibilities.
Building a trusting relationship with the child and accompanying and guiding them
on the path of their learning, by documenting their learning processes and giving
value to all the child’s possibilities, the teacher creates a reciprocal relationship of
learning and teaching.
22.
23.
24.
25. Community and parent-school relationship: Pedagogy of relationships.
Learn through making connections between things, concepts and experiences,
interacting with other people and surrounding environment.
Parent and community participation is one of the important feature.
Creation of a reciprocal network of communication, continuity in children’s lives,
participation by all involved, feelings of ownership are the development of strong
links between the school and home.
Comprehensive integration program. Which involves meetings between parents,
child and teacher. It takes place for a period of one week and then it is reduced.
26. Parents are directly involved in the observation and documentation process. Eg:
how the child acts in the home setting which allows teacher to build a more
complete image of the child.
Parents interact with teachers and other parents.
Parents and grandparents are encouraged to contribute to the upkeep of the
buildings and gardens by volunteering to repair furniture, paint surfaces and
equipment, make and build toys and equipment, and tend to gardens and play
areas, in short volunteering any particular experience they have.
27.
28.
29. Environment: Fundamental importance in considering the creation and use of the
physical space of the school.
Rather than separate spaces being used for separate purposes, the schools are
composed of a series of connecting spaces that flow into one another.
Rooms open onto a central piazza, mirroring the central meeting places in the
town, and children move freely through the space.
This type of openness is conducive to participation and interaction and to the
general value of openness to the many differences that children, teachers and
community bring with them to the schools – differences of race, religion, sex,
language, culture.
Space must be conducive to research and autonomous discovery.
30. An enormous amount of attention and effort goes into the design of furniture and
organization of space and materials to maximize the ease of use by the children.
These schools are multi-sensory environments, and materials can be displayed in
many ways.
The outside environment is also an obvious source of colour and texture, and
plants are widely used in the classrooms as well as in interior courtyards.

37. Teachers as learners: Teachers are encouraged to understand children’s learning
processes rather than acquiring skills and knowledge that they then expect children
to learn.
Research is a fundamental learning strategy for children.
Teachers are seen as learners first and foremost.
Once a week, teachers are given time to come together as a group so that they can
share their analyses and hypotheses with the rest of the staff.
Through close relationships with parents at individual, group and school meetings
that seek to share the children’s creative and learning processes, teachers become
increasingly aware of the importance of listening and of considering differing
viewpoints.
38. Teachers must be individuals and work with the children.
The emphasis is not simply on the acquisition of skills but rather on encouraging
teachers to think in different ways and to consider different viewpoints so that they
might best respond to the children’s spontaneous learning.
Teachers are given the opportunity to meet and talk with people living and
working outside the boundaries of education such as scientists, musicians, writers,
architects and poets.
