The Reggio Emilia schools were started in Northern Italy by Loris Malaguzzi after WWII. The environment in these schools is vastly different from many other schools. These schools focus on the children's interests through a self-guided curriculum. Teachers are obsevers and partners that work together with children to question the world around them, learn about their environment, develop plans, and create using their imaginations.

This approach would greatly benefit ELL students. ELL students can express themselves non-verbally through movement and art, and learn English from interacting with peers and teachers in a comfortable way.
