Explore Educational Thinking in Italy
Ciao Italia! “Following the Footsteps of Early European Educational Thinkers” takes students to Florence and Rome, Italy, to explore educational philosophies in the European context. This course focuses on the Roman-Italian thinkers, such as Marcus Tullius Cicero, Marcus Fabius Quintilianus, Pietro Paolo Vergerio-the Elder, Maria Montessori, and Reggio Emilia. Students examine how Italian pedagogical thinking and approaches have influenced practices in the United States. As part of this journey, participants will visit cultural sites, attend college lectures, and engage with students in local Italian schools. And let us not forget to mention all the delicious Italian food!
