The Hundred Languages of Children: The Reggio Emilia Approach Advanced Reflections
1993, Carolyn P. Edwards
4.8/5
It's hard for me to rate this book because, while very comprehensive, it was not for me. It is a deeply pedagogical book and I am not an educator. I am a parent looking to expand my understanding of how my child is capable of learning, and trying to understand how I can approach both her learning (at home) and her education (at school) so that she is fully supported. This book would be a wonderful resource for education specialists, school administrators and teachers. It would and should also be in the hands of urban studies students and education policy makers. It is a deep look at how the town of Reggio Emilia reinvented early child education, literally from the ground up, and all that they have learned in the intervening 60 years. It is not a resource for parents of small children - BIG book, tiny print, heavy on the theory, dry writing.
