Program Description

This workshop has been designed to offer an opportunity to learn about and reflect on one of the integral and structuring elements of the educational project of Reggio Emilia. It will demonstrate how to give value and make explicit and visible, the learning processes of children and adults. It will highlight the importance of observation to create documentation that is shareable; for communicative relationships with families, for professional learning and for assessment of learning.
