Teaching with Reggio Emilia technique at FIS

FOSCO International School Teacher and Teaching Assistants had a wonderful Reggio Emilia workshop on August 8th, 2023. It was extremely informative and provided our staff with useful tools and information on how we can approach our students' learning needs. We discussed and explored ways in which our school could apply what we reviewed in today's workshop and we look forward to our own application. Thank you to Ms. Ho Thi Tuong Van, Dean of the Faculty of Early Childhood Education, Lecturer at Ho Chi Minh City Intermediate Pedagogical College for a thorough presentation and fun activities for us to explore ideas. We will surely remember the core focus of the Reggio Emilia methodology for the new school year, 2023-2024.
