In the Leadership section of a recent Forbe's, Steve Denning outlines the critical need for substantial school reform, a reform that must include the very nature of the school's relationship to the student. Schools must change from curriculum driven institutions to places that inspire student's to be life-long learners. It is a BIG CHANGE. Mr. Denning offers a life-line; Montessori schools have been doing this for years with extraordinary results!
Side-note:
For many years, Montessori education has been marginalized, always seen as the out-sider or even a bit nutty. Earlier this year, in a post titled, Where You Lead, I posted a video about the difference between a lone nut and a leader. Take a look.
The Montessori movement is expanding-soon we will need a whole new dance floor!
