Paediatric neuropsychologist Dr Steven Hughes explains that traditional education is running out of steam, and why Montessori education has to be an important part of the future of education--not just one of a number of alternative approaches, but the main one---not least because Montessori education is unique in recognising the way children’s brains develop.
Not bad for a three minute video.
He mentions:
- Angeline Lillard’s Science study, 2006: Montessori Education Provides Better Outcomes
- His own presentation, ‘Good at Doing Things: Montessori Education and Higher-order Cognitive Functions’
