As much as I love Montessori private schools and Montessori homeschooling, I have a wish that Montessori public schools will someday become available everywhere. Today, I want to share some YouTube videos and other resources with Montessori public school ideas and inspiration.
Montessori Public School Inspiration
I always love to see Montessori in action, and it’s exciting to know that this video is from a Montessori public school … the Annie Fisher Montessori Magnet School in Hartford.
Inspiration from Research: Does it Work? What Research Says About Montessori and Student Outcomes from National Center for Montessori in the Public Sector
Starting a Public Montessori School
In the following video, Marta Donahoe, the Executive Director of the Cincinnati Montessori Teacher Education Program, talks about what’s needed to start a successful public Montessori school. At the end, the video suggests going to American Montessori Society for more information: Public Schools at American Montessori Society.
Inspiration from Trevor Eissler, author of Montessori Madness! A Parent to Parent Argument for Montessori Education
I have some posts with inspiration from Trevor Eissler, the author of Montessori Madness! A Parent to Parent Argument for Montessori Education. Trevor is one of the most widely known advocates of making Montessori education available to all children.
