I have never worked in «traditional» education. For me, it was Montessori from the start. This allows my students to benefit from a truly Montessori environment, without being forced to deal with incompatible elements from other educational systems. I don’t believe in spelling tests, I feel that dittos or worksheets should be kept to a minimum, and I only give homework if a student asks for it.

I see Montessori as being a holistic education, and I believe that the time to teach children that they are part of a bigger picture is now.

In Montessori, there is a concept called Cosmic Education. It’s the idea that children realize that they are part of something bigger, and that everything is connected. I want my students to see themselves as important parts of a whole, eager to contribute to their own small corner of the world.
