| Think about the model of teaching that you would like to implement in your classroom. Analyze Mrs. Ashland’s classroom through the lens of the model of teaching that you plan on implementing. Make sure to include the following points in your analysis:
The Reggio Emilia approach is the model of teaching that I currently use in my classroom. We use visual aides to represent what is going on in our classroom, along with lots of art. The class is set up to where the children have full access to multiple centers that are separated by shelfs and everything is on eye level. The class is set up to be rich in art supplies so that the children can express themselves freely through their creativity. Just like Mrs. Ashland’s classroom, my class has every child’s art displayed throughout the room at the children’s eye level. This allows them to feel proud of what they did and they have it at hand to show whoever comes into the classroom. As our textbook states, “visual representations of the children’s work is more than just a decoration” (Krogh & Groark 2013) . Unlike Mrs. Ashland’s classroom my class documents the children’s work by making each child a portfolio. This portfolio is something that I use at my parent teacher conferences to show their parents how much they have improved throughout the year. As for centers the classroom would implement an environmental rich room with a science area, dramatic play area, block area, reading area, music area, art area, discovery area, math area, and manipulatives. The outdoor area will have a 6 foot fence and it will have a lot of options for climbing, slides, tunnels, dancing, sand area, bicycles, scooters, basketball court, soccer goal area, a painting area, and etc. Children should have plenty of room to move and use up their excess energy.
