What is the Reggio Emilia approach? - Irene Theresa Mawo

Teacher Irene Theresa Mawo of Cascades International School joins us in this episode and tells us more about the Reggio Emilia approach. She gives us practical tips on how we can incorporate Reggio at home and reminds us to keep that home-y vibe in our child's learning space. She also talks about Reggio concepts like the environment as the third teacher, documentation, and seeing the child as capable and equal to us--so much so that they are always included in planning out and making sure that discipline is in place in the community they have built. All these and more in this 1st half of a 2-part interview. Disclaimer: This is a gentle reminder that nobody is really an expert in the philosophies we are discussing here except the ones who created it themselves. We chose our guests because we've seen their passion in their chosen philosophy and we would love to learn with them. Our goal here is to share these learnings with you and then who knows, maybe it will encourage you to dig deeper and go further. Happy listening!
