Zoom Book Study

Open Book Study via Zoom
Third Sunday of the month from 3:00pm-4:30pm Central Time

Each meeting we form a flexible learning group without a fixed destination, with the intention of cultivating a context for uncertainty, diversity and complexity. We read slowly, never more than one chapter per month. (Sometimes we repeat a chapter, if we don’t feel finished with it.) Together we strengthen the disposition for close reading, careful listening and thoughtful conversation.

We are beginning a new book: A Festive Thought, published by Reggio Children, which can be accessed here which focuses on visual metaphor.

“Creative thinking and knowledge are the first line of defense for freedom and equality, and therefore primary objectives that schools should be pursuing and diffusing.”

 What is documentation?   Why is it important to our practice?  What can we learn from the Italian educators?  How does it contrast with display/decoration?  How can documentation be used in the assessment process?  Articles will be blended into the experience.  We will continue to examine traces of work and collaborate on insights into the learning.  Readings on documentation will be suggested.
