The Environment as the ‘Third Teacher”, Transforming Learning Environments

Inspired by the practices of Reggio Emilia and the work of architect Anita Rui Olds, this webinar focuses on transforming learning environments into spaces that are “designed for miracles, not minimums” (Anita Rui Olds, 2001). Viewing the environment as the “third teacher,” the schools of Reggio Emilia pay significant attention to every detail in the environment while putting to use current research on environmental design.
