The Municipal Preschools and Infant-toddler Centres of Reggio Emilia, Italy, are arguably the most powerful experiment in early childhood education of the last fifty years. These schools have drawn international attention to the extraordinary capacities of children as individual and group learners, the potentials of dedicated teachers, and the role of education in a democratic society. In this talk, Mara Krechevsky explores two key components of the Reggio approach: the power of the group as a learning environment and documentation as a way to shape and deepen learning. Making learning visible through documentation gives children, families, educators, and others a basis for discussion and reflection about children’s ways of learning and living, expanding our view of the possible.
