dc.description.abstractAbstract In this case study, I examined how teachers working in a demonstration school, influenced by the principles of the Reggio Emilia Approach, negotiate the federal mandates from the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. Drawing from Bronfenbrenner’s (2005) ecological system theory as a framework for analysis, I examine in this thesis how the arm’s-length educational reforms from NCLB become a mitigating factor on how the image of the child as a principle is taken up by teachers. The findings of this case study identify changes in teachers’ thinking and practice in classrooms and across the school, and how this impacts relationships, the development of curriculum, projects, the use of documentation, and roles within the school over time.en_US
