Maria Montessori’s theories of developmental psychology include her foundational observations of the planes of development for children. These planes outline various milestones physically and mentally as the child’s education progresses, and it’s so interesting to see common threads emerge when observing Montessori students in the classroom.

In today’s episode, I’m talking to Luz Casquejo Johnston, a parenting and life coach and a seasoned Montessori educator. Luz shares what she learned after experiencing all three planes of development in the span of one summer. She offers insights on the importance of reflection, observation, and the preparation of the Montessori teacher.

Luz also shares the importance of asking “why?” - not only to find out the answer to educational concepts, but because our students will also be asking “why?”. We are better teachers when we are well-informed.

What’s in this episode:

Luz shares about experiencing all 3 planes of development in one summer

The debate on the appropriateness of didactic materials in the Montessori classroom

Why observation is crucial for Montessori teachers

The common threads Luz noticed when going through the 3 planes of development

How self-reflection helps students and teachers
