Reggio Emilia Reggio Emilia ApproachApproach

Children as protagonists, collaborators, communicators in the learning process

Teachers as partners, nurturers, and guides

Teachers as researchers Parents as partners; active

role in children’s learning Environment supports

learning, social interaction, exploration

Documentation as a means for negotiated learning through communication

Project Approach: BallsProject Approach: Balls Brainstorm: Individually, write as many words as

you can that relate in any way to the topic of Balls. The words should be as specific and concrete as possible. (Time: about 7 minutes)

Tips Use visual imagery. Think with reference to all of your senses. Think about people whose work is involved with this

topic. Resist the temptation to think of abstract categories. Continue for about 7 minutes or until you have

about 50 or 60 words Work alone at this stage, even if you plan to team-

teach.
