Have you ever observed or taught in a Reggio Inspired classroom environment? Do you feel there is value in inquiry-based teaching? Do you feel the purchased curriculum is meaningful for all students? Do you ever wonder if all students benefit from teacher led lessons and activities? Have you ever tried to act as a facilitator, rather than a leader in the classroom? Do you think the environment can be a third teacher? How does your classroom environment affect your students and yourself?
