Don't miss this great opportunity for all Heads of Schools, Staff Members, parents, professionals, and the general public to hear
Dr. Steve Hughes, Pediatric Neuropsychologist, presenting
"The Neurological Case for Montessori Education!"
|
Don't miss hearing this dynamic presentation by Dr. Steve Hughes, our special guest speaker. Steve Hughes is an enthusiastic Montessori parent, one who is eager to talk at the drop of a hat about Montessori and the benefits it has provided his daughter and family. Dr. Hughes is also a pediatric neuropsychologist specializing in brain development, and that credential gives this proud Montessori dad's enthusiasm a big boost in credibility as he speaks internationally. But you will hear why there is a deep neurological understanding of Montessori Education. Montessori children are motivated learners and effective hands-on participants in their world, Hughes says, largely because of Montessori's curriculum - a curriculum that precisely triggers brain functions that are the building blocks of learning and personality. "This educational approach just makes so much sense from a cognitive developmental standpoint," Hughes says. "I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about brain development, and I'll tell you, Montessori is the original brain-based method of learning."
