Montessori educators believe that high-quality standards are just one part of an excellent education program. Exposure to a variety of topics, people, and adventures, in addition to working with each child's individual strengths, interests and learning styles all contribute to an exciting, stimulating and effective program.
Hi ! This is my personal web site. I'm an American Montessori Society trained teacher in a public Montessori program.
Over the years I have answered countless questions for people about Montessori education and philosophy while addressing common misconceptions. Then, about two years ago, I started answering questions on Yahoo Answers. Before I knew it, I was referring people interested in Montessori education to my Yahoo Answers Profile so that they could read some of the things that I wrote. Yet the profile and my answers often seemed too hard for them to find. More than once I was told that I should just put all my answers onto an easy to access website.
This summer, I decided to listen to those suggestions and started to make a website for my Yahoo Answers answers. Yet the more I worked, the more things that I wanted to add. Book lists, education articles, links to places to buy Montessori Materials, a section on what to look for when looking at Montessori schools...
Before I knew it, the site had become quite large and comprehensive. I hope you find it informative, interesting and easy to navigate. If there is anything that you feel I haven't addressed, please contact me at the address provided at the bottom of this page and I will do my best to add that information.
Oh, and while you are looking at certain pages, you will notice some print in purple italic writing. These are little notes that I have made for you, injecting my own comments into the more academic work.
If your plan is for one year,
plant rice;
If your plan is for ten years,
plant trees;
If your plan is for a hundred years,
Educate children.
Confucius
