Inspired by Reggio Emilia: Designing the Outdoor Classroom
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. Like our indoor classrooms, the outdoor classroom successfully engages students through design, flow and use of materials. In this course we examine design features of successful outdoor classrooms. We consider what makes spaces beautiful, inviting and inclusive. We include video content of spaces on the playground specific to literacy, imaginary play and scientific inquiry. In this way, we offer teaching teams and schools ideas about how to get started, how fund the outdoor classroom, making direct links to early learning standards. With over twenty years in the early childhood field, Mary Ann Biermeier is an Arizona certified instructor holding a master degree with distinction in Early Childhood Education Curriculum & Instruction from Northern Arizona University, a graduate degree in Instructional Design and Digital Media from the University of Maryland, and a B.A. in Political Science & Economics from the University of Minnesota. Deep learning is always connected to enjoyment – we hope you will enjoy this class!
