Montessori, Work, and the Age of AI

If Montessori is a method for observing human development, experimenting with the environment, and revising our practice based on what we discover, then AI isn't necessarily a threat to Montessori. It may be one of the greatest tests of whether we actually believe in Montessori as a living method rather than merely a collection of materials.

Montessori, Labor, and the Meaning of Work

If a child develops physical problems because of the environment we have created, adding a specially designed piece of furniture to that environment doesn't fix the root problem; it only treats a symptom.

American Tchoukball

Traditional Tchoukball uses specialized rebounders. They aren't particularly difficult to find, and they aren't necessarily prohibitively expensive, but they aren't exactly standard equipment in most American school gyms. Basketball hoops, on the other hand? Those are everywhere.

Influence Without Ownership

There is a famous Montessori quote, “The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist.’”

The Evolution of Wall Ball Equipment and Simple ...

If you found this interesting, here is a link to a lesson plan that will show you how to play three different variations of the same wall ball style game. Each variation will use slightly different equipement resembling some of the sports mentioned above, so histroical connections can easily be made if they are studying those countries in class. What could be even more interesting is the science connection to simple machines, specifically levers. As the students increase their lever arm using different equipment, so they will experience the changes in velocity, which impacts strategy and timing. All these possible connection points make this a super versatile lesson.

Help! My gym is unavailable!

Take a look at the At-Home Lessons if you have to do your PE in the classroom and you need some extra help coming up with some ideas. I remember how tough it was trying to make engaging content for less than ideal settings. I hope that you can take some ideas from my lessons and use them in your classroom.
