Walls into Bridges: Transforming Challenges into Opportunities
January 25-26, 2013
Tucson, Arizona
In collaboration with
Tucson Children's Project,
University of Arizona and
Head Start Child-Parent Centers
Featuring presentations by
Lella Gandini and Amelia Gambetti
This conference will also include presentations with local educators on multilingual learning and social justice as well as panel discussions with educators and parents on family and community partnerships. Also featured are visits to Head Start, public and private early childhood programs in the Tucson area.
We hope that the short Tucson Children's Project video above offers some insight into this exceptional, culturally-rich community whose passion for the Reggio approach has given them the strength to face their unique challenges as well as the willingness to share their experience with us.

Join NAREA in Celebrating Its 10th Anniversary!
At the NAEYC Annual Conference in Atlanta this November, NAREA will launch a yearlong commemoration of its 10th anniversary. In a spirit of celebration, NAREA will honor and recognize collaborative relationships with colleagues in North America, in Italy and throughout the world, which have contributed to its evolution as a network of educators, parents and advocates seeking to elevate both the quality of life and the quality of schools and centers for young children.
In addition to presenting at several pre-conference and conference sessions, NAREA will share a booth with Reggio Children and will sponsor a tour of schools. For a lovely break during the conference, NAREA members, friends, and representatives of Reggio Children and the Reggio Children International Network are invited to a 10th anniversary reception. Keep your eye on your e-mail box in the coming days for your invitation to this special event. We hope you will join us!

Where the Jobs Are
|
Designed especially for Reggio Emilia inspired settings, the NAREA JOBS SITE aims to support those seeking employment as well as those searching for job applicants. Through the NAREA JOBS SITE, we hope that positive, new connections will be established throughout our Reggio Emilia inspired community in North America. Here's an example of what you will find on our page:
"The successful candidate will embody the qualities of progressive education and have experience supervising teaching staff and/or administering a preschool program...The Director must support the school's educational vision, values and the study of the Reggio Emilia approach."
