This is the recording of the third webcast in Dr. Paul Epstein’s series on Montessori adolescent programs.
Paul uses the term the “Welt Schüler”: or students of the world.
Montessori’s few insights about adolescent education outlined a living/learning farm-based experience for the seventh and eighth grader. Given geographical locations and circumstances, the Erdkinder may be possible for some, but not for other Montessori schools.
We propose applying Montessori principles to a more comprehensive and modern orientation, one that is more consonant with 21st-century developments: the “Welt Schüler,” the student of the world.
Join our conversation as we describe our framework for program design, curriculum, and more. We also look forward to sharing with you the new IMC Secondary Teacher Education Program from the Center for Guided Montessori Studies that opens this summer.
