As we work at understanding and incorporating Reggio principles and practices at SWS, these are some of the transitions SWS teachers we are making:
| From |
To |
| Parent involvement |
Parent partnership and child advocacy |
| Teachers working in isolation |
Teachers working collaboratively |
| Teachers as the main source of knowledge |
Co-construction of knowledge among teachers, children, and parents |
| Display of children's work |
Documentation of children's work |
| Art as a separate subject or discreet set of skills |
Art as a language, and as a vehicle for learning about and understanding children's conception of the world around them |
