<p>These are top-rated courses on Udemy. Read below raving reviews. Purchase with confidence INSPIRED BY REGGIO EMILIA courses:</p> <p>Heralded by Harvard University's Project Zero, the Reggio Emilia Approach is blend of theory and practice that is based upon decades of research in early childhood development. Founder Loris Malaguzzi designed a teaching approach which is alive, creative and emergent.</p> <p>Central to this progressive approach is the image of the child as a strong and powerful player in their own education. The teacher is seen as a researcher and protagonist, creating a learning environment that is engaging and highly social. Children learn through play and are assessed through documentation. The documentation makes the learning visible and informs the practice &ndash; ultimately leading to innovations in curriculum.</p> <p>Designed as an introduction to this approach, this first course will introduce two key principals: The strong image of the child as a collaborator in their own education; the environment as the third teacher &ndash; designing classrooms that support investigations and creativity and social-emotional development.</p> <p><br />Mary Ann Biermeier M.Ed. is Managing Director of Riverbend Studios, llc. She is a master degree educator with over 20 years in the early childhood field, an Arizona certified instructor inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach.</p> <p>All learning starts with joy &ndash; we hope you will enjoy this class!</p> <p>REVIEWS:</p> <p>Priyanka &ndash; &ldquo;This course is to remind me of children's potential to learn through play.&rdquo;</p> <p>Emily &ndash; &ldquo;I love learning about all the different Reggio ideas to implement into my classroom.

I love the resources that are provided.&rdquo;</p> <p>Renee &ndash; &ldquo;I appreciate the passion of the instructor. I was more involved as it wasn't a dry lecture, but a passionate one. It was helpful to have the "wrap up" at the end to bring home the points of the videos. Thank you. I gained more knowledge from this course. I would like to learn more. I do own a digital copy of the 100 Languages of Children, older edition, but it is pretty dry and I am not a textbook learner. I am a visual/doer learner. Reggio learner one might say. :)&rdquo;</p> <p>Christelle &ndash; &ldquo;It is so interesting how we can develop children through different methods of play.&rdquo;</p> <p>Maria &ndash; &ldquo;I am amazed by this course as of right now.

It is my first course on Reggio education. They have been very educational, informative, practical. Good presentation, English is my second language and I was able to understand everything perfectly since the way they speak is very slow and clear. I was not mistaken in choosing you and I am sure that I will be taking more courses with Udemy!&rdquo;</p> <p>Dakota &ndash; &ldquo;It was informative and I learned a lot. Not only how to interact with the children, but it also gave a newer perspective on how to encourage them and help them develop at their own pace.&rdquo;</p>
