Montessori Education and Brain Development: New research validates 100-year-old method

Dr. Steven Hughes: Montessori and the Future of Education
VIDEO:Dr. Steve Hughes: "Montessori and the Future of Education
"Maria Montessori really got everything right..." reflects Dr. Steven Hughes in the video."She anticipated so much of what we know about neuroscience, brain development, and optimum models of education."
A pediatric neurologist and Montessori parent, Hughes has been spreading the word for years. Take time to watch more  of his videos for some fascinating insights and recent findings.
Dr. Steven Hughes' Website "Good at Doing Things".
"If we decided that the purpose of education should be to help every child's brain reach its highest developmental potential, we would have to radically rethink school. The task seems insurmountable, yet this work has already been done. In fact, it was done over a hundred years ago."
-Dr. Steve Hughes, Ph.D, President, American Academy of Pediatric Neuropsychology
