“Free the Child’s Potential, and You
Will Transform Him into the World.”
-Maria Montessori
“My
inspiration did not specifically come from one of my teachers, but I was
inspired when I was getting my MBA at the Graduate School of
Business at Stanford. I had previously received my doctorate in
education (also from Stanford) and had worked in education for several
years. My older son was born at the beginning of my second year in the
MBA program, and I faced the same challenges that many new moms face
-- trying to find quality care for their children while pursuing their
professional careers. While I was extremely fortunate to be able to
balance these goals, I was inspired to seek a career that allowed me
to apply my expertise in education with my then newly acquired business
skills. I have been incredibly fortunate to have a career that has allowed
me to spend my professional time working to improve the lives
of children and families” (U.S. Chamber of Congress Foundation, n.d.).

-Maria Montessori I agree so much with this and I do hope that as educators we can take a cue from this. Thank you for sharing.
Kenya,
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing to see how Elanna Yarlow took her own personal experience and use it for good. Clearly an opportunity to practice humility.

Maria Montessori is still making a difference in classrooms today! Her methods still allow children to challenge their learning with hands on.
