[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are several reasons for teachers to go to Italy.  [b]Observing the approach in its' place of origin helps deepen the understanding of the approach and how it is implemented.[/b] Questions can be directly asked of those who use the approach every day. Many people learn best using  hands on, first person observation. There are some misconceptions about the approach (outside of Italy) and seeing the approach in action can clear those misconceptions up. Teachers can also observe the environment, getting ideas for room set up and materials and their use. [/quote]

That sounds like marketing gibberish by the sales director for an Italian training program.  I have no doubt that longstanding Reggio practioners much closer would be plenty able to provide the training, especially since the approach is not so vastly different that notions of how to set up a room, etc, would be completely foreign.

I would be pissed if our school spent tens of thousands of dollars, which would be folded into tuition, on such jaunts.[/quote]
