You Can Do It All! Managing The Elementary Montessori Curriculum part 1

[@Behrnesfarm]

First, this video was amazing and allowed me to see many foundational concepts in teaching elementary Montessori that have helped me grow tremendously. Thank you for offering your heart and knowledge to us. Also, there were a few times through this video that it was mentioned that there are resources that we could download from this video. Could you help guide me to those resources so I can view and print them? Thank you!

Is there somewhere I could get a copy of these slides?

It sounds like you are advocating exposure. Are you saying that teachers should be exposing the children to different skills and concepts?

Of course. Montessori education is designed to inspire a love of learning, the skill of learning how to learn new things both independently and with the guidance of a great teacher (we call our teachers guides), self-discipline, and intrinsic motivation rather than external rewards. We want joyful learners, which is common among most children if you begin when they are very young, treat them with profound respect, establish a culture of partnership, and remember that people learn in different ways and different paces. While there are always benchmarks to meet, we design schools to meet children as distinctly different individuals; I.E. we design for differences. We encourage children to not only cover the basics (that which is required), but consciously work to broaden their sense of interest and wonder in as many areas of culture and technology as we can. We think of this aspect as being like sowing wild flower seeds.. Not everything needs to be tested. We expose children to loads of things, and see what ignites their interest.
