| Abstract: | The Reggio Emilia preschools in Italy have much to offer U.S. early childhood practitioners and administrators. Nevertheless,
we need to be aware of some of the difficulties in attempting to transport or adapt educational models from European roots
to American educational settings. The three components that constitute the differences between European and American settings
are (1) patterns of thinking, (2) attitudes within the macrosociety, and (3) cultural conventions. Moreover, preschool and
primary school teachers and administrators all have an enabling role to play in establishing a more effective and meaningful
transition from preschool to elementary schools. |
