The Montessori Method is based on a clear and consistent practice of observation. In The Advanced Montessori Method, Vol 1, Dr. Montessori writes, “it is necessary that she (the guide) should put herself into immediate relation with the truth by means of rigorous observation…” Yet, observation can be the part of our practice that gets replaced with more lessons, micro-managing the activities, or simply staying on top of the never-ending “to-do lists.” The irony is that with regular, reflective observation practice, many of the items on our To-Do lists will vanish because the actions we take will be more focused, on-point, and efficient. I’ll guide you in a journey of discovery with the end result being an observation ritual that will create deeper connections, more purposeful actions, and the outcomes you’re seeking.
