A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Dear Educator, We hope you and those you care about are both healthy and safe. As we live through these uncertain times, what has grounded us at Bank Street is the community that has rallied together to care and support our staff, students, and families. Over the past few months, you may have been asked to quickly design and implement programs for your students and staff in new and innovative ways. We are all learning from each other as we go, and we hope you’ll browse our course listings and consider joining Bank Street’s community through these online short-format workshops, which have been adapted so they can be offered in an online format. This spring, CPS shifted gears to provide quality online instruction in support of educators and leaders like you who were also required to shift to remote teaching. As always, our workshops will bring educators together to learn with and from each other. We continue to work with our experienced faculty to adjust our summer course offerings to meet the educational and health needs of working educators. Because it’s difficult to predict what will happen in the near future, we want you to feel comfortable registering in advance for these workshops. If your plans should change, please notify us and you will be able to withdraw a week before the course begins and receive a refund. We hope you will join the Bank Street community this summer.
All the best,
Joy Ellebbane, Director

TEED654N The Reggio-Emilia Approach: From Theory to Practice (Ages Infant–5 Years) The early childhood program founded in Reggio-Emilia, Italy incorporates an emphasis on the learning environment, process vs. product, developmentally appropriate practice, and the importance of the community of learners. Much of this philosophy reflects the culture of the Italians and is difficult to recreate in the United States. This course is meant to provide an introduction to the approach and will attempt to bridge the Reggio-Emilia theory with American culture. We will view the Reggio-Emilia approach as a means to combat the push-down curriculum, competition, product over process, and the jumping/skipping of learning stages we are now experiencing in this country.
