Montessori – An Inspiration
“Montessori – An Inspiration” - the first documentary in the world to show the journey a child takes through Montessori from the early years through to completion of their secondary schooling and beyond - is now available for purchase from the Think Education Supplies online store.
This Montessori documentary is essential viewing for any parent considering the future education of their child, for parents of children already in a Montessori school, or for any teaching institution looking to further educate their pupils in alternative teaching methods.
The Montessori DVD shows how Montessori differs from traditional education methods through allowing children to learn at their own pace in a positive and scientifically arranged environment.
The documentary takes viewers inside real Montessori classrooms where they are able to observe the children and examine the specially designed self-teaching Montessori materials. Candid interviews with current and past students, teachers and parents provide viewers with valuable insights into the journey and impact of a Montessori education.
Episode 1 - Explores the history of Montessori and introduces the philosophy and early development of the child from 0 to 3 years of age.
Episode 2 - Takes you into the Montessori classroom and explores the everyday activities of the three to six year-olds.
Episode 3 - As the attention turns to other classes, you are able to observe how the six to twelve year-olds develop, and hear from parents and others who discuss their experiences with Montessori.
Episode 4 - Offers you the opportunity to take a closer look at the Montessori sensory materials and apparatus that are specially designed to stimulate and develop the child’s faculties.
Episode 5 & 6 - Hear first hand of the experiences of many past students and teachers as they reflect on their time in a Montessori school. These episodes also explore some of the later year programs such as the International Baccalaureate.
The production of the DVD series ‘Montessori – an Inspiration’ was a labour of love for its directors and producers, Lagis and Theo Zavros of Alethea Productions whose passion for Montessori education stems from their own experience when they first came into contact with the method more than twenty-five years ago. Developing the documentary was a way of putting something back into the Montessori pedagogy as well as forever capturing on film the practical side to Montessori.
This documentary will assist many parents and others in understanding more about the Montessori philosophy and the lifelong benefits it brings to the child.
The Montessori DVD series consists of six episodes of 52 minutes each (total running time 5 hours and 12 minutes) presented in a single case 3-disc pack for just $89.
