33. Creating a Child - Centered Classroom with Holly from Research and Play
Manage episode 417261187 series 3505733
In this episode, I have my teacher friend, Holly, from Research and Play on the Kindergarten Cafe Podcast. We explore the significance of purposeful classroom setup, focusing on child-centered approaches including the Reggio Emilia method. Holly stresses designing rather than decorating the classroom, using natural materials to stimulate learning. We also discuss challenges in shifting to student-centric designs, encouraging student involvement in creating the environment. Holly offers resources like her TPT bundles and an upcoming course on Research-Based Space.
In this episode I share:
- What it means to be child-centered
- Classroom design vs classroom decor
- Role of the environment in Reggio Approach
- Resources for Child-Centered Classroom Design
