Bristow Montessori School
"The Buzz" - March 2017
The Montessori Lens
The conference is 4 days of non-stop workshops, keynote speakers, exhibits and training seminars for teachers, administrators and educators from all over the globe. It was a marvelous experience to exchange ideas, resources and research with some of the most successful Montessori schools from around the world.
It is amazing that Montessorians are so open to sharing even their most valuable and personal resources for the greater good of making Montessori education accessible and enduring for all students. However, apart from the practical knowledge, the reflective and spiritual experience of the conference is equally important to "rekindle and evoke" a greater awareness and sensibility to Montessori education as we journey with our students upon the long and wondrous path of self education.
I feel deeply privileged to have attended the conference and have brought back a lot of new initiatives, which I am excited to share with BMS over the course of the coming months.
Additionally, the teachers and I will be sharing our knowledge from the conference with the rest of the staff via a series of in service training starting this month.
All of the BMS staff is committed to making every child's experience here a wonderful journey of self discovery and a lifelong love of learning and that is what we seek to share with the children everyday.
In service,
Anita Ercole
