We were joined by The Paradigm Project, Teaching Beyond the Square and Jennifer Caravajal.
Jennifer Caravajal presented strategies for infusing traditional academic skills into a Reggio-inspired classroom, sharing real examples from her own classroom and strategies she has developed in her work for Teaching Beyond the Square as a coach to schools in the New York City metro area. She shared her favorite children’s books, identify the unexpected ways the children develop literacy skills, and fine-tune storytime and read aloud methods.
