CMS Board Member Spotlight: Susan Flaspohler
Current School/ Occupation: Mercy Montessori 6-9 teacher Years of Teaching: 15 years Why did you choose Montessori? I love getting to see the three year cycle in action and the chance to see the children grow as leaders over the years. Interests and Hobbies: I love spending time with my two children, ages 5 and 1. Lately, my interests have become watching them do what they love best - play, learn, and grow! Why did you join the CMS board? I joined the board for the opportunity to meet others within the Montessori community and work together with them. Favorite teaching moment: I don't have one favorite moment, but seeing my former students graduate from high school and college and head out into the real world is pretty awesome. It's neat to see what paths they choose and where life takes them.
What do you love most about Montessori?
A wise teacher once told me that in a Montessori classroom, the child doesn't have to adapt to the environment, but rather the environment adapts to meet the needs of each child. I couldn't agree more!
