Loris Malaguzzi & The Reggio Emilia Approach
"Learning and teaching should not stand on opposite banks and just watch the river flow by; instead, they should embark together on a journey down the water"
-Loris malaguzzil.
Loris Malaguzzi was a journalist, activist, and educator who shaped the Reggio Emilia philosophy. This approach to education brings a collaboration between parents, teachers, children, their environment, and and the community as a whole.
At Reggio Academy, we believe in the idea that children have 100 Languages, meaning multiple ways of learning and expressing their learning. Children should have direction in their learning, using things they are interested in to pique their curiosity.
The Three Teachers of the Reggio Emilia Approach
The Parent
The parent is viewed as an active partner and guide in the education of the child at home and at school.
The Educator
The educator observes each child and documents observations, using these to plan lessons and projects based on each child's needs and interests.
The Environment
The environment is centered around the children and their exploring and learning, easily accessible to the children, including elements of nature..
