The Brain and the Internet Compared

Maria Montessori had a remarkable understanding of the development of a child's brain given the absence of sophisticated methods of study. The Montessori method of education grew out of  detailed observations and interactions with children. Her discoveries have been verified by recent research. It would be very interesting to see how Montessori would have adapted her method in light of the rapid growing technology. Brain Power: from Neurons to Network uses great graphics, analogies, and kid pictures to help the viewer understand more about the child's brain. The conclusion; ( like Montessori!) interactions with humans are critical to the development of new ideas, incite and creative thinking.Attention is the brain's most valuable resource!

 The Center for Montessori Education, New York invites Montessori schools to share this article with faculty and parents.
 The article celebrates the Montessori concept of self-directed learning, mixed-age classrooms, collaboration, creativity, and social responsibility. It was recently published in Briefing Magazine, a quarterly magazine focused on talent and leadership published by Korn/Ferry.
Korn/Ferry, a prestigious executive search firm engaged by major corporations, visited Cambridge Montessori School to research this article about Montessori education and business leadership.
The photos of the school are captivating and the message is clear: children in Montessori schools today are engaged in an educational experience that promotes the very qualities needed in the leaders of tomorrow.
