Listen to Andrea Sherbern talk about her role as an Atelierista. This role was first introduced by the progenitor of the globally renowned Reggio Emilia Schools in northern Italy, Loris Malaguzzi. Malaguzzi was one of the first educators to understand that children are strong, capable learners and deep thinkers. He set out to make their learning visible. One of the ways he did this was to introduce an Atelierista, or art educator into the schools to ensure that students could express themselves in many different media and languages. Indeed he called them the 100 languages of children.

Andrea relishes her role supporting students to explore the world through multiple languages and to guide them in observing the world around them in detail. Finding the connections between different phenomena, gives deeper conceptual understanding to curriculum content.
