The Universality of Montessori

Mary Ellen Maunz

Description

The Universality of Montessori is a topic that can draw us all closer in our mission to serve the child. It draws heavily from Montessori’s lectures given near the end of her life at San Remo. She reminds us of our better natures that shine forth almost unconsciously in our work of serving every child that comes to us.

Mary Ellen’s talk will be lavishly illustrated with examples of Montessori classrooms around the world that she has visited and worked in. The universality is tangible.
