Learn moreChildren’s future successes depend on developing the abilities to innovate, be resilient in the face of their mistakes, problem-solve creatively, and collaborate with peers effectively. However, standard American educational practices—stressing memorization, grades, and testing—are failing to foster these skills. There is one complete system of education that effectively supports the natural development of such essential abilities: Montessori. Montessori education expert Paula Lillard Preschlack offers a clear explanation of how the Montessori approach helps children. By looking closely at authentic Montessori practices, she shows the tight correlation between the Montessori system in action and children practicing and strengthening the very traits they will need for adulthood.
Paula Lillard Preschlack, ME, is a certified Montessori teacher who has worked in classrooms for twenty-five years. She is also a speaker on Montessori topics, schools, and programs. A Hampshire College graduate, she has a Master's in Education from Loyola University in Baltimore. She has written for Montessori journals and appeared on podcasts and at international conferences. She lives with her husband in Lake Forest, Illinois.
