Policies and Procedures Not Supporting Images Of The Child

Post by quillota3 » Mon Feb 22, 2016 12:11 am

Hi there,
I'm struggle with this question, How policies and procedures might not support the “image of the child”? I've been looking at most of the policies and procedures in my centre and is so difficult to find some examples as all the policies and procedures are in the direction to support the image of the child.
Any idea??
Thanks for your help

I found the following information:
The focus of learning is from the child's perspective, so often topics of learning are about the things the child finds interesting and stimulating. It changes the image of the child from that of an empty vessel being filled by the knowledge of the teacher, to seeing the child is as having “preparedness, potential, curiosity and interest in constructing their own learning and in negotiating with everything the environment brings to them.” (Lella Gandini, “Fundamentals of the Reggio Emilia Approach to Early Childhood Education”, The Journal of Young Children”, November 1993).
