The Montessori model weaves the curriculum into an integrated web of carefully sequenced discoveries and investigations. This highly flexible approach, once considered very controversial, is now widely considered to be an outstanding example of "developmentally appropriate" education. This session will introduce the overall structure of the Montessori curriculum from age 2 through the 12th grade, Montessori theory of learning, integration of subject matter, hands on learning, the children's passage from concrete experience to abstract knowledge and understanding, how and why Montessori individualizes learning, Montessori and academic competition, and the three streams of a balanced Montessori curriculum.  Click Here to RSVP
