Early Years Teacher

What do the children want to learn about?

From Roots and Wings: A central feature of the Reggio Emilia approach is extensive documentation through observation, reflection, and analysis by teachers of children’s development and behavior. Documentation records the experiences of children in the classroom. It makes children’s learning visible and encourages them to become central to their own learning. Documenting children’s learning processes within a learning group helps to make learning evident and shapes the learning that takes place.

From Roots and Wings: Long-term projects are focused on collaborations between children and teachers, and teachers’ reflections on their own practice.
