P.A. teacher promotes a different approach to education
A Prince Albert teacher and author is aiming to open up new avenues for those looking into alternative teaching styles for their children.
Tamera North has been involved in Montessori teaching for more than 20 years, and teaches the method at Prince Albert’s Montessori Daycare. Her new book is brimming with creative ideas for parents interested in different ways of educating youth.
The Montessori Method of Education, developed by Maria Montessori, is a child-centered educational approach based on scientific observations of children. It features a variety of tactile approaches to educating children, and focuses on observing children’s interests and building on them, rather than teaching a standardized curriculum.
