I've begun my year's internship at a charter school (which I'll simply call "Charter") that practices inquiry-based learning and is inspired by the pedagogical ideas of Reggio Emilia, Italy. This internship will offer me the chance to observe and immerse myself in a school community that is the closest thing I have found to what I might call my "pedagogical home", so I begin with much enthusiasm and anticipation for learning.
These first few days have been mostly for observation, getting a sense of the routines, and simply getting my bearings for the work of my internship. I'm taking such pleasure in getting to know the different class communities, the kids as individuals, and the professional community of the teachers and staff.
More to come as the year unfolds!
