I have the opportunity and honour to consult, support & coach & work with teachers & the Junior Head of School at a large Independent School. I wanted to share a story about my first visit to the Kindergarten room. I immersed myself in the play & learning spaces as the children invited me to engage with them. After the session, I met with the K teachers and shared these words. “I want you to know that I wrote nothing down in my journal, but I have much to tell. I want to show you what I heard and observed from the children ‘s work in these beautiful photographs.” I proceeded to show the teachers the learning stories that I had captured in the photos. The experiences, the moments of learning & the images spoke to us all. Like Vecchi shares, when taking photos, one is working on documentation the learning. It is a “careful, attentive way of seeing......it requires empathy...empathy with the child and the surroundings, to capture the essence of an experience in a photograph.” Each series of photographs spoke of the child, shared the experiences & the rich & powerful imagines. Reggio has inspired me to embed this form of documentation into my practice. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
