Yes! I think autonomous is the key word here!

I think this is easily forgotten in the classroom. Perhaps because there isn't enough support through governments and Divisions. Or, the learning is not available to staff in education.

I like that this acknowledges many languages that connect. Additionally, that there is room to discover more languages as children grow.

I think this is easily forgotten but also so critical for adults and children.

I think this can be difficult and is a skill to be practiced. Really listening to something that we may not agree on.

This is a wonderful point! So much we can learn from others when we welcome their languages. Also, creates a culture of accepting other forms of expressing our ideas and thoughts. Understanding that they are just as important as the traditional way of how one should express themselves.

This is a great point! Especially in school during unstructured times (i.e. recess)

I feel that as adults we begin to lose our imagination and creativity. I think children can helps us with this!

As adults, I think subconsciously feel that our ideas are superior to a child's ideas, because of our "experiences".

I think this is an important reminder for educators!

I think this is difficult for teachers to do. Taking the time to pause and allow children to explore their discover. With good intentions, I think teachers naturally have been taught to take over teaching moments.

I had this happen in my classroom with and Educational Assistant during my first year. At the time I did not have the confidence to step and put a stop to it. Now, when with an Education Assistant we have meetings before the school year starts (and throughout the year) to go over the best ways to support the children in our classroom and how to treat them with respect they deserve.

I noticed this when I took my students on a community walk a few weeks ago. They observed small details that I would not have picked up on.

This is interesting. I'm happy to learn that play is so important in communication at that age!

I agree. As an adult I need to remind myself of this sometimes.

Also so important! Waiting for children to regulate and allowing time to process their thoughts and feelings.

I think this is missing! Especially in schools!

I love that this wasn't one day discussion/activity. It was a deep and reflective question that sparked a strong interest in children. The adults made the space and time for children to meaningfully explore this questions.

Agree! Children are resilient!

I love this perspective! Seeing communication through different lenses. Letting the space breathe.

I have to remind myself of this! When I'm teaching there is so much happening, you sometimes lose sight of the inner thoughts children have outside of the school walls. Reminding myself to check in.

I love the word interconnected and how it is a vital component of the Reggio Approach.

I love the idea of projects starting from a chance event, experience, or problem posed by one of more children. I am continuously reminding myself to pause and notice my surrounding to catch the ideas and experience from students who may not be as upfront about their ideas and interests.

way to setup the learning

finding our way, living together is not easy, we build relationships to work together in the forest

Both children and teachers bring life each day, how will that be played out in school. How can we grow relationships and connections together to build a strong learning environment

body language, openness, being authentic with questions to learn more from the child, inspires a child to take the lead in their learning experiences

reflection to create what the learning experience for children looks like in each unique community

I wonder about the new interpretations, hypotheses and ideas at Boulder Journey School.

I love all these descriptions of the many different roles of the teacher and the analogy to all the parts of a play. Teaching is an artwork and it is a constantly changing role, often minute by minute, scene by scene,

This comes from being present alongside children's wonder, asking questions that allow them to look at the world in another way, scaffolding their learning to aid them in finding answers to what they want to know..

"We don't want to teach children something that they can learn by themselves". This reminds me of a saying I heard (I don't remember the exact quote) that when you teach a child something that they could've done on their own, you also take away the child's joy in discovering what they know or are capable of.

I love the idea of being flexible and open to experiencing the unknown. I think it brings about the feelings of wonder, curiosity, and joy that children also experience as they are learning about the world. I appreciate that this article also acknowledges the complexity of this. As a teacher, we want to be intentional and make a plan for what the children can learn (often because we, as a society, value concrete evidence and results). When a teacher participates in the unknown with children, the teacher's role is more complex because we have to define their learning, experiences, and outcomes in different ways that often are not standardized.

In addition to learning with the children, I see the learning within adults as a parallel process. While the children are exploring their world and environment, formulating their own hypotheses and ideas, teachers are also making their own hypotheses about how children are
