As I reviewed these four methods, I realized that I related to more than one. My first choice was the High scope method because I planned to be center based classroom style, but as I continued to learn more about the others, I did start becoming interested in the Reggio Emilia method. As I have stated before I am a hands-on independent learner that will ask for help when I see fit. I like to have control over the things I learn so they can stick with me. So, I strongly feel like I am more aligned with these two and I believe this will help me understand my children as an educator.
