Montessori/ Reggio comparison questions

These questions were inspired by an article that Leigh found that gave a breakdown comparing Montessori and Reggio schools:

1. How do Montessori and Reggio styles of child observation compare?
2. How do the teachers characterize their interactions with the child? What is the goal? To get more information, or to get them somewhere? Is the purpose of asking questions to learn about the child or to influence the child's learning process?
3. How much flexibility is in your curriculum? What influenced it? What disciplines are included? How is that decided?
4. How do you cater to/assess different styles of learning?
5. What do you think about the role of collaboration in learning? What do think about the role of independence in learning? Are your ideas based on the school's philosophy?
6. What do you see as advantages and disadvantages of your school's system of age grouping?
7. How has your school adapted its practice over the years?
