Virtual Home Visits During a Pandemic

Like the citizens of Reggio Emilia, Italy, ITP strives to create a culture of dialogue and research in Northern California that promotes the pleasure of inquiry among children and adults. The cornerstone of the Reggio philosophy is an image of the child as competent, strong, inventive and full of potential – subjects with rights instead of needs. At ITP we offer opportunities for others interested in supporting the potential in children to collaborate, formulate personal interpretations, hypotheses and ideas about teaching, learning and living.

Virtual Home Visits: Building Alliances of Hope and Resilience through the Reggio Principles of Participation and Organization

This professional development seminar focuses on home visits, an evidence-based strategy, that is extremely relevant during this pandemic with the challenges that families and educators are facing. Now that most students’ classrooms have shifted to their homes, structured home visits provide school staff a more accurate means to identify educational assets in students’ homes to as well as a strategy to be responsive to learning impediments. The educational opportunities created by home visits will bridge the physical distances due to remote instruction and build the capacity of students’ families to more effectively support students’ steady learning growth. Participants will expand their capacity to partner effectively with a diversity of families in schools to support students’ developmental and academic growth.---This is a digital event - via Zoom. One ticket per person. Access details will be provided the Wednesday before the event.---<h3>Facilitators: </h3>Mr. Fernando Flores-Cardenas is a bilingual teacher in San Francisco.
