I called NAREA (North American RE Alliance) and spoke to Cheryl Rappaport, who sent the following email to me:

Dear Suzanne,
I have listed some great resources for your students.  I hope they will be inspired by the Reggio approach and I look forward to meeting you one day.
  • The Hundred Languages of Children: The Reggio Emilia Approach in Transition, Third Edition - Gandini, Forman and Edwards
  • In Dialogue with Reggio Emilia: Listening, Researching and Learning - Rinaldi
  • Making Learning Visible: Children as Individual and Group Learners - Reggio Children
  • Indications - Preschools and Infant-toddler Centres, Istituzione of the Municipality of Reggio Emilia
Also, See resources listed on our website.  Learning Materials Workshop carries many good books from Reggio Emilia.   To further understand the Reggio Emilia approach, perhaps some of your students can attend Reggio related conferences.  NAREA offers four opportunities a year.  The Summer Conference, the Winter Conference, and many sessions at NAEYC.  If at all possible, visit the traveling Exhibit.  “The Wonder of Learning-The Hundred Languages of Children”; produced by educators in Reggio Emilia – travels throughout the U.S.  Currently in Henderson, Kentucky.  Other initiatives are listed on our website and e-newsletter throughout the year.  They may want to Join NAREA to begin networking, communications and relationships.  With a NAREA membership, you will receive a subscription to the official NAREA periodical, Innovations in Early Education:  The International Reggio Exchange – also you may order back issues of articles that are of interest including those who have opened a Reggio inspired school.  Visit Reggio schools that have been using this philosophy for a good number of years.  Also available through NAREA summer conference/winter conference and NAEYC.   Take a Study Tour to Reggio Emilia if possible.    Regarding Education and Training – this evolves throughout one’s lifetime.

Best of luck and good travels.
