Parent Talk: Education for 21st Century
MAF is delighted to offer a Parent Talk featuring Laura Flores Shaw. Come find out more about the benefits of choosing Montessori education for your children.
Our education system successfully trained millions of children for the industrial society and economy. But our changing society presents new challenges that require us to fundamentally rethink our concept of school. Due to the proliferation of digital technologies towards the end of the last century, we socially reorganised into a society of distributed networks whose economy runs on knowledge. Thus, the competencies required for success in the 21st century are very different than those required in the last century.
Ironically, over 100 years ago, just as industrialists were reforming education to prepare children to work in their factories, Maria Montessori began developing a method that seemed to foreshadow the needs of the 21st century. Using research from multiple disciplines, including sociology, economics, cognitive science, psychology, education, and neuroscience, this talk discusses why Montessori is the educational framework for the 21st century.
