Coping With Death and Grief. Death is inevitable, yet the loss of a close friend or family member always showers us with a range of emotions. One day we might desperately try to avoid the pain, anxiety and feelings of helplessness we feel when a loved one dies.
Montessori education is both a philosophy of child development and a rationale for guiding such development. There are four elements to the Montessori method: auto-education using didactic materials; individual education; a prepared environment and the Directress. Auto-Education. The main idea of the Montessori method is recognition of the fact that no person is ever educated by another. He must do it himself or it will never be done.
The goal of a Montessori education is not to drill and memorize but to develop the skills and habits that facilitate a lifetime love for learning. Teachers are more than guardians â they are partners in the self-directed education of their students.
