In May of 2016, Lorna McGrath interviewed six graduating seniors from the NewGate School (the Montessori Foundation’s Lab School in Sarasota, Florida). In this candid and unscripted interview, Lorna leads an interesting conversation with students who grew up in Montessori and some who entered along the way.
On November 8, 2017 Sharon Caldwell, Senior Montessori Consultant in South Africa explored the important topic of giving children a greater voice and sense of shared decision-making and ownership at both the classroom and school-wide level in Montessori.
We remember that Montessori speaks often about the children’s sense of pride in the care of their environment and treatment of one another within the community. These are children’s houses, not teacher’s classrooms.
Sharon has a background in both Montessori and democratic education and will look at practical steps to create a large scope of children’s engagement in the school.This can lead to long-term loyalty, price, and continuing enrolment.
Remember, we store videos of all of our webcasts and much more in The International Montessori Council member’s resource center. If you or your school are not members yet, you should look into it. https://stage.montessori.org/the-international-montessori-council-imc/
The IMC offers great benefits, especially to schools, and is very affordable because of its connection to the Montessori Foundation. It only takes a moment to join online.

No one wants their child to fail. However, sometimes experiencing not doing something perfectly the first time, learning from experience, or having the courage to try something new or challenging comes from developing determination and perseverance. Kathryn gives us great advice on how to allow failure to be a motivator rather than a discouragement.
This is a video interview with six soon-to-be Montessori grads from NewGate School. Join us for their thoughts on Montessori life and the world beyond.
