Please join us and get familiar with one of the most important core values of the Reggio Emilia Philosophy, “The Environment as the Third Teacher.” Learn how to adapt your environment as the Third Teacher based on the children’s ongoing interests through observations and documentation. Embrace this principle within your working space to provide a nurturing and culturally representative environment.
Participants will be able to:
Reflect on the importance of creating an environment that encourages children to be collaborators and investigators.
Gain an understanding of the importance of offering an environment with purpose and intention based on the children's interests and needs.
Explore the concept of “The three teachers of children: adults, other children, and their physical environment.”
Learn new ideas to modify your environment as the third teacher and how to extend one theme into different areas of the classroom with sustainable materials and other culturally appropriate resources
