The Whole Child: Digging into Reggio-inspired Prac... Join classroom teacher and Pedagogista, Abby Bucher from the IPS/Butler Lab School #60, as she shares her passion of Reggio-inspired practice with other classroom and special area teachers. In this workshop, she will share a history of the schools in Reggio Emilia and some of the main principles (i.e. image of the child, hundred languages, environment, project work, and documentation). This approach to education incorporates the Arts as there are many languages through which a child can show empathy, expression, and understanding. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to explore the Reggio-inspired practice to teaching and learning and find out about upcoming related events in Central Indiana.
The Whole Child: Digging into Reggio-inspired Prac... Part 2 of the workshop takes place at the IPS/Butler Lab School 60. During this 3 hour workshop, we will visit with Abby Bucher and learn more about what Reggio-inspired practice can look like in a public school in Indianapolis. We will take a tour and notice environments, we will do some materials exploration that can then be put into practice in your own setting, and we will look at a couple of projects that have been done with students in Indianapolis that shows how we have been inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach.

Theater-Dance by Giselle Trujillo Do you have kinesthetic-tactile learners in your classroom? In this workshop, Giselle explores a topic in your curriculum using her multi-sensory approach of theater and dance. Through her workshop she is able to connect your curriculum to activities in both theater and dance: making sure all modalities of learning are touched upon, specifically, kinesthetic, visual, and auditory. Her workshop consists of using props related to your content as well as student’s collaborative work – the end result is a beautiful creative expression, choreographed by your students, that enhances the content area of your choice. Curriculum connections include but are not limited to: the solar system, history, math, language arts and social studies.
