Inspired by Reggio Emilia: A New Beginning2 Hours and 35 Minutes of ContentThese are top-rated courses on Udemy. Read below raving reviews. Purchase with confidence INSPIRED BY REGGIO EMILIA courses: 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. 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 ultimately leading to innovations in curriculum. 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 designing classrooms that support investigations and creativity and social-emotional development. 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.

Emily I love learning about all the different Reggio ideas to implement into my classroom. I can’t wait to test out these ideas! Alefiyah The course is totally about what I believe and strongly feel for about the learning system. It’s helping me understand myself better. Thank you. Victoria Very user friendly. Instructor is clear and easy to understand. Zeenat I really enjoyed this course! Tara This is exactly what I was looking for to start my own learning of the Reggio Emilia approach. I love the resources that are provided. Renee 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. :)Christelle It is so interesting how we can develop children through different methods of play. Maria I am amazed by this course as of right now. I am feeling emotional and looking to learn all about Reggio Emilia. I am beyond happy to have found this approach. I am getting this course to work as a teacher in a Reggio Inspired school and I can not be more excited! Thank you! Mary Ann Biermeier, your course has been an eye opening to me. Liz Its so rich. Concise yet powerful. Passionately presented. Julia This course was very interesting and well-done. I was engaged throughout and I feel I really learned a lot about the Reggio Emilia approach to education. Joanmarie Yes, I love it! Helene The explanation is clear and easy to follow. The flow of the presentations is organized. The examples that are given and the repetition that sometimes takes place, ensures that we focus on the main objectives behind this approach. Martha I love this training its informative, clear and very simple to learn and adapt. Kartina It is wonderful to learn about the Reggio Emilia approach. 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! Dakota 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.
