In the last few years, Montessori educators all over the world have reported decreased levels of independence in their students. There is a myriad of opinions as to what has caused to this phenomenon. Most of these causes are beyond our immediate control. However, while we can’t control what happens outside of our classrooms and schools, we do have influence over what happens within our environments. Dr. Montessori encouraged us to create environments where there is freedom within limits, and children are encouraged to learn through their own experiences and mistakes. Join us, as we discover how to use our influence through time-tested principles and tools to help rebuild independence in our students through daily interactions in the environment.
