In Dialogue with Reggio: An Introduction to the Reggio Approach
The Reggio Emilia approach focuses on fostering relationships. Children are strong, capable, and active agents in their own learning. Participants will learn about the foundations of the Reggio philosophy of education and will explore ways to use this philosophy in their own classroom-learning environment.
