| dc.description.abstract | The Reggio Emilia philosophy of early childhood education exemplifies how children can be respected by educators and adults through its founding principle, the image of a child. In Reggio Emilia, the image of a child views children as strong, capable, competent, and full of potential. As many educational settings in Canada move toward a more holistic way of education, educators can learn a lot from Reggio Emilia. This project shares current research and literature about the Reggio Emilia philosophy and focuses specifically on identifying its founding principles based on the literature review. It also provides suggestions and strategies for educators to adopt the founding principles of the Reggio Emilia approach into their schools and classrooms, as well as guide a group of educators to develop an image of the child for their educational setting, through a professional development workshop. | en_US |
