Italian Approaches to ECE

Sarah and Becca

  • The image of the child different by cultures

  • Montessori materials used to teach discipline

    • They have a determined place

    • Only one copy of materials - respect

    • Intelligence activities - there is a difference between creative use and misuse of energy

    • Trays contain all of the materials needed for activity

  • Practical life - they give children a chance to practice practical activities, like velcro and buttons, but vertically not horizontally

    • Cleaning materials

  • The presentation of materials - quiet, intentional, engaging, expressive, specific

  • The Three Step Lesson

    • I do - presentation of materials (introduction)

    • We do - the lesson (identification)

    • You do - verification of the lesson (remembering)

  • Takeaways: slowing down, emphasizing capability, respecting materials, presentation of materials and lessons
