Reggio Emilia Inspired Practice in Early Years

About This Event

The aim of the session is to better understand what pedagogical documentation is and the impact that it can have within the classroom. We will discuss Reggio Emilia’s approach to documentation and the theory and methodology behind this approach. We will also look at the benefits of using this practice within the classroom and how it can serve as a valuable teaching, research, and assessment tool. Finally, we will think about some of the challenges which you may face whilst documenting learning and discuss how these challenges can be overcome.
