 | Montessori Education - the right way for children to learn |
|
Recently I was made aware of 2 youtube clips that were shared with me by parents of our school. These are worthy of viewing by current parents and are also relevant for anyone thinking about future schooling for their child. Northside Montessori School facilitates the acquisition of skills, knowledge and a preparation for life in way where learning is natural, child-centred, practical and collaborative, and which is provided in a caring and non-competitive environment. These clips serve as a great reminder that the choice of a Montessori education is a wise one. I hope you can put a little time aside to view these clips, and maybe share these with some friends who sometimes just don't 'get it'! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALCM2LL2y7c AND Whilst not specifically about Montessori education, this one shows an interview with a US scholar called John Seely Brown, whose statements clearly point toward the underlying principles of Montessori schooling. Without him actually saying he's a Montessori advocate he has created a subliminal advertisement for the approach used in Montessori schools. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW2jriuw23Y Enjoy!
