  12. Our Philosophy Theories Philosophy Our approach to working with with children by attending to “what we know about how children develop and learn and what we learn about the individual needs and interests of each child in the group”. Influences our decision making about what, how and when to teach. • Pay attention to what goes on in classrooms • Framework to understand and interpret intentions and actions • Broad principles of development and learning • Breadth of knowledge • Different ways of seeing • Teaching decisions based on knowledge of child development, learning, social & cultural context

  13. Curriculum & Teaching • Content – subject matter/discipline to be considered • Integrated – based on how children learn; grounded in the discipline • Emergent – child’s interests and needs in the context of learning • Inclusive – all children’s interests and needs are included • Negotiated – child and teacher are partners in learning; child initiated and teacher framed

  14. Influential Thinkers • Jean-Jacques Rousseau • Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi • Friedrich Froebel • John Dewey • Urie Bronfenbrenner • Jean Piaget • Lev Vygotsky • Jerome Bruner • Barbara Rogoff • Howard Gardner

  15. Reggio Emilia Approach • 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

  16. Project 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.
