“The dimension of research

- Principles of the educational project -
Indications. Preschools and Infant-toddler centres Municipality of Reggio Emilia

Research represents one of the essential dimensions of life of children and adults alike, a knowledge-building tension that must be recognized and valued. Shared research between adults and children is a priority practice of everyday life, and existential and ethical approach necessary for interpreting the complexity of the world, of phenomena, of systems of co-existence, and is a powerful instrument of renewal in education.

As human beings, all children possess hundred languages, hundred ways of thinking, of expressing themselves, of understanding and of encountering others, with a way of thinking that creates connections between the various dimensions of experience rather than separating them.

Café provided).

Start the year by embracing the most important thing you can do for yourself and the children you teach –building a culture of peaceful communication and interactions where teacher’s, children’s and parent’s rights are honoured.
As teachers we have asked ourselves, if we are not peaceful in our daily interactions then how can we expect children to resolve conflicts in fair and mutually agreeable ways? Knowing that peace begins with ourselves puts a different perspective on relationships.

Come and join us on the April Study Tour. Be in quick, there are still a few places available.

schools and centres as places of research

This workshop draws on projects from Reggio Emilia as a catalyst for thinking about the role of research in our schools and centres in Aotearoa NZ.

Teachers’ research – children’s research – schools and centres as places of research

What is the nature of teacher research in educational contexts and how do teachers research to build understanding, support children’s learning strategies and create contexts within which these grow and develop?

How does research help us to become better teachers?

Participants will work together in collaborative groups, experiencing the joys and challenges of decision making and sharing of multiple perspectives.

When: Saturday 11^th June 2011: 9.00 – 3.30
Venue: St Cuthbert’s College, Market Road, Epsom
Cost: $120.00 per person; includes lunch and refreshments.
