Invisible Atelierista intro


Invisible 
I'm a teacher and I'll try to stay out of the way as much as possible. In his book Inventing Kindergarten Norman Brosterman reminds us about the underpinnings of education...
“Kindergarten was play, and a good Kindergarten teacher made certain her little sprouts never thought otherwise-the theoretical underpinnings of the education were kept from children just as they are in any classroom situation.”

Atelierista 
A teaching role at the core of the Italian Reggio Emilia approach, this is a position that extends the art teacher’s activities beyond supplying materials and demonstrating techniques. The Atelierista is a researcher who pays attention to contemporary issues, striving to bring a unique perspective to school, while thoughtfully accompanying children and adults in the creative processes of learning together.
