Where can I study a variety of alternative education methods?

Question

I am greatly in the different approaches currently available for education. Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Waldorf. I'm interested in finding degree/certificate programs in some or all of these methods. Classes would be a great start. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

I am not sure about Reggio Emilia.  I would love to know more about that.

Information on becoming a Montessori teacher can be found at either the AMS Web Site   ( www.amshq.org )  or AMI  ( www.montessori-ami.org )

http://www.Mothering.com/discussions has a good forum for both Montessori and Waldorf.  It's worth reading through them.  I had trouble finding anything of substance about Waldorf before I read that forum.  I feel I have a better understanding now, though not perfect.

Reggio Emilia Australian Information Exchange

look into the work from Gandini, Malaguzzi and Rinaldi

Rinaldi, Carla. (2001). Documentation and Assessment : What is the Relationship? in Project Zero : Reggio Children, Making learning visible : children as individual and group learners, Reggio Emilia: Reggio Children, pp.78-93.

Rinaldi, Carlina. (2006). Pp 61-73 Documentation and Assessment : What is the Relationship?; pp 97-101 Documentation and Research; pp 111-120 Creativity as a Quality of Thought in Rinaldi, Carlina, In dialogue With Reggio Emilia : Listening, researching and learning, Oxon, UK: Routledge,

Malaguzzi, Loris. (1993). For an education based on relationships Young Children, 49 (1), 9-12.    

It's so inspiring..... I hope to one day do a study tour or visit at least!
