research topic

the topic i chose for my research paper is the reggio emilia approach. I am all for the cooperate actions between parent, student, and teacher. I also like the positive encouragement to think on their own and develop their own ideas about things instead of being looked at as empty books that need to be filled with information. The other side of the Reggio Emilia approach is montessori which i am a little familiar with and i am not totally against this approach either but i do think reggio emilia is a much more beneficial and fulfilling/plentiful approach toward shaping the future generations of our nation. I just recently heard about this learning approach so i am not that educated about the topic which makes me excited and willing to research this. As far as i know, i think this approach has stayed in its home town down south and hasn't been adopted here yet because i was never taught this or even heard about it. I definitely am looking into it as a possibility as one of my teaching approaches if i am a teacher around the appropriate ages i think will benefit from it the most. I'm not so sure how middle school students will handle this, but i guess i would have to experiment because it is for elementary and secondary education.
