Documentation

In the Reggio Emilia approach, documentation is a fundamental practice that involves observing, recording, and analyzing children's learning processes to make their thinking visible and to inform future learning experiences. It's not just about collecting data, but rather about creating a narrative of learning that involves children, teachers, and families. 

We highly value the practice of documenting the work our students do. Throughout the school, teachers put up documentation panels to spotlight student projects and, even more importantly, showcase their thinking and learning. Pictures, charts, schedules, and graphs tell the story of each classroom. These stories are told both inside and outside of our classrooms, giving parents a window into each day, inspiring other teachers, and providing visitors with a sense of who we are as a community.

In addition to creating documentation panels, our teachers document your children’s learning by:

  • writing daily journals

  • creating portfolios of your child’s monthly progress

  • writing progress reports twice a year and leading parent-teacher conferences
