Loris Malaguzzi was influenced by the writings of David Hawkins, an American philosopher interested in science and education. Among other concepts, Hawkins insisted that teachers need to be learners, as well as children. In turn, David Hawkins was deeply influenced by the work of his wife, Frances Hawkins, who was committed to documenting and studying children’s learning processes. Malaguzzi and Hawkins met in 1988. “Both believed in the importance of seeing children’s processes of learning through action and also of renewing oneself with an open mind. Upon such a common base each was able to learn from the other” (Gandini, 2008).

The Reggio-Inspired Network of Minnesota DOCUMENTATION LAB continues to offer educators an opportunity to study traces of children's actions - photographs, video clips, transcripts of conversations and children's own work - as a way to learn in collaboration with colleagues.

Monthly meetings will continue once a month on Thursday evenings, specific dates will be announced as space can be identified and reserved.

The Reggio-Inspired Network of Minnesota 7th Annual Conference

The Wonder of Learning – Challenging Our View of the Educational Relationship – Rethinking the Role of Children, Parents and Teachers.

What is your view of education? Are you inspired to view your work with children as an avenue of opening them to unimagined possibilities for the future? Are you dedicated to the belief in children’s competence to go beyond the surface of learning, to be inventive and creative thinkers of the future? In the words of Jerome Bruner, “The infant/toddler centers and preschools of Reggio Emilia have been doing just that for almost 50 years!” Join us as we spend a morning together to look at some of the guiding principles of the Educational Project of Reggio Emilia as illustrated in The Wonder of Learning Exhibit and applied in our own contexts. This conference launches a year dedicated to examining the underlying premises that are embedded in each section of this amazing exhibit!

Documentation can be a powerful tool for educators who value thinking, inquiry, exploration, experiences and communication. We will:

• explore strategies for making thinking visible
• experience the process by collaborating in groups using provided artifacts to create a documentation panel
• discuss being brave by taking professional risks together

Children’s words, both spoken and written, are powerful agents. Join us for a conversation with our poet-in-residence and hear about the possibilities of incorporating poetry - children’s own poetry - into your educational plan. Julia will describe how young children can discover the joy of playing with words, and through the process, come to see themselves as poets.

Facilitated by:
