Welcome

The Innovative Teacher Project

Welcome to the Innovative Teacher Project (ITP). Like the citizens of Reggio Emilia, Italy, ITP strives to create a culture of dialogue and research in Northern California that promotes the pleasure of inquiry among children and adults. The cornerstone of the Reggio philosophy is an image of the child as competent, strong, inventive and full of potential – subjects with rights instead of needs. At ITP we offer opportunities for others interested in supporting the potential in children to collaborate, formulate personal interpretations, hypotheses and ideas about teaching, learning and living.

As a fellow educator it has been a privilege to be the founder of The Innovative Teacher Project and the executive director since 1994. I am very pleased to announce our new executive director Heather Morado, who has participated in the project for over 10 years.
