Even if a teacher is using something that isn't 100% Montessori, e.g. Matt's puppets  , they should be able to explain why it's in the classroom, how they're making it work with the Montessori philosophy, what benefit the children get--in the context of the Montessori philosophy, and in general show that it improves rather than detracts from the method. |
No. It's true. Even though I have a talking dog, I still have to understand that context within Montessori. Some might disagree with it, but I can't justify having it in the classroom without that understanding.
exactly I used the dog as an example specifically because you've explained on this forum how you have included it as a positive addition to the overall Montessori method implemented in your classroom.
