Why Document?

I am reading “The Hundred Languages of Children,” which is less a book and more an exhibit on the history, theory, and practice of education in Reggio Emilia, a region in Italy with a strong, locally-controlled early education program. A cornerstone of the Reggio Emilia way of education is documentation. There are several benefits to documenting the children’s work and learning throughout the day, week, semester, year. Educators can find themes, understandings, misunderstandings, and interests, and use their findings to guide learning and teaching. Children can demonstrate and reflect back on their knowledge. Parents and community members are given a clear view into the classroom, allowing them better understanding of their children and their school, increasing involvement with both their children and their school.
