1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,171
So one of the things that the Teaching Pyramid...

2
00:00:10,204 --> 00:00:13,641
...made me aware of is when I see people in my classroom...

3
00:00:13,708 --> 00:00:17,645
...that are not forming relationships, meaningful relationships with the children.

4
00:00:17,745 --> 00:00:24,986
So the Teaching Pyramid gave me a set of tools and a vocabulary to start having discussions...

5
00:00:25,086 --> 00:00:29,324
...with people so they start having different kinds of relationships with the kids.

6
00:00:29,557 --> 00:00:32,060
[reflective pause]

7
00:00:32,126 --> 00:00:35,226
When they are not having meaningful relationships with the kids...

8
00:00:35,311 --> 00:00:40,607
...what I notice is that they are not really on a journey with the kids.

9
00:00:40,707 --> 00:00:43,337
They are doing a lot of correcting and directing.

10
00:00:45,239 --> 00:00:47,308
The children aren't forming trusting relationships...

11
00:00:47,408 --> 00:00:53,299
...and there is a lot of conflict-based interactions with the teachers and the child.

12
00:00:53,399 --> 00:01:01,071
And so the children feel that... [reflective pause]

13
00:01:01,171 --> 00:01:07,662
...they're not being supported and they're actually, I would say being undermined.

14
00:01:07,762 --> 00:01:13,801
I can now have a conversation with a teacher about that and it's not a judgement.

15
00:01:13,901 --> 00:01:17,425
It's and understanding that this is how children learn.

16
00:01:17,525 --> 00:01:24,679
Our school is a Reggio inspired school and so
the relationship piece is extremely important.

17
00:01:24,779 --> 00:01:32,219
It connects the Teaching Pyramid 
framework to our Reggio values perfectly.

18
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:39,160
We've worked really hard on 
infusing the Reggio values.

19
00:01:39,170 --> 00:01:42,863
I was very excited to see that the
Teaching Pyramid fit together...

20
00:01:42,933 --> 00:01:45,700
...with it in a way that actually supports Reggio. 

21
00:01:48,135 --> 00:01:54,375
We can share the vocabulary and we can
put the two together and it makes both...

22
00:01:54,475 --> 00:01:58,000
...the Teaching Pyramid and Reggio a little bit richer.
