I hope you will share what all 8 elements of policy are. I am so interested in changing humanity's culture or paradigms but educating children in the new paradigm from the start.

Seeking partners, and organizations interested in building a coalition to influence policy and our philosophy of education. Loved this "playful challenge" as a way to get strangers who care related to each other and to what is important to them. Loving this post.

Thanks for your comments, susan! The elements identified by the Reggio Children Foundation's Cristian Fabbi (who led the session) were:

Quality Criteria

Curriculum

Pre / In-Service Training

Building Standards

Monitoring and Evaluation

Program Definition / Identity

National Framework and

Financing Framework

I'll be curious to hear how you'd change this list for your context - and of course to hear about what happens!

Developmental Appropriateness

Use of Technology

Connection to Nature

Connection to Community
