Episode Takeaways-
This episode is powerful for teachers who are looking to enhance their observation skills. It’s also powerful for parents who are considering the Montessori Method as a school program for their children. Make sure you listen all the way to the end where we get to the essence of the Montessori Method and what we can learn from our children if we turn inward to our spiritual selves.
Nancy dives into the meaning behind observation and the importance of developing the habit of observation as a Montessori Guide. As Montessori Guides we must use scientific tools to guide our observation, not just passively observe. When we use the tools to collect the data we are prepared and confident to have a conversation with the parent of a child who is struggling. In this episode we also discuss how teachers can submit their own Action Research to prove and validate how the Montessori Method works, through an Action Research group of volunteers through AMS.
