update ni bukan apa, saa nak mengaak kengkawan out there especially momsies out there who are looking for education method to be introduced to your children kan, nak kasitau PPBM **Persatuan Pengasuh Berdaftar Malaysia** will be organizing an introductory course on Reggio Amelia method here in Malaysia..
Apa itu Reggio Amelia method?
Most of us Malaysians might have heard of Montessori method, kan? This is actually a method that was also founded in Italy but after the WWII, in short. So basically some of the trainers etc might feel that it might be more relevant to our current educational and children upbringing situation now. But for me, I rather that we all go and find out what is this method all about before casting judgements, eh?
I called the PPBM office for another non-related issue actually, but this humble, and most friendly staff by the name of Puan Rahimah has highlighted about this course to me and had een nice enough to send me an e-brouchure on the said course as well **tq Puan, although I might not be attending this but I will definitely see you soon..Insha-allah **
anyway, for momsies out there who are keen to join, refer below kay?

Overview of the Workshop:
This Seminar is designed to introduce participants to the philosophy and theories behind the Reggio Emilia Approach and how it can be adapted in their setting.
Why Reggio Emilia approach? Newsweek (Hinckle, 1991) hailed the Reggio Emilia approach as one of the best educational programs in the world. As a result of this, many early childhood educators are trying to implement the approach in their own classrooms. If early childhood educators are to adapt and use this highly regarded educational approach, classroom teachers, and pre-service teachers must be taught to understand and develop strategies for adapting the approach into their setting.
