Bottega Child has dedicated their research to identify systems that supports teachers and children’s disposition of thinking and understanding across disciplines. Our school research question falls in line with; How do we foster dispositions that support thoughtful learning and understanding across disciplines? Bottega is a school that serves children between the ages of 14 months to five years old. When our school was founded in 2013 we identified a clear research question; what were the implications behind creating a school that fosters the values, culture and systems that support;
a) A culture of respect for our students.
b) To see the child as a thinking and capable individual.
c) To cultivate a faculty that see’s themselves as researchers of their praxis.
d) Create systems that foster a disposition to learn and understand concepts related to fields of knowledge and about the world.
