The Montessori
Foundation / Island Village Video Library Project
The Montessori Foundation and the Island
Village Montessori Charter School of Venice, Florida
have begun to collorabate on the creation of an online
library of video segments that address basic issues
of interest to Montessori teachers, including topics
in classroom leadership, classic presentations of the
elementary Montessori materials, and topics in Montessori
philosophy and practice.
Thus far we have completed many of seqments
showing the basic presentations of the Lower Elementary
Math curriculum and a number of segments addressing
issues in classroom management and basic Montessori
principles.
The project owes its birth to Island Village's
tireless Director, Kym Elder, and to the talents and
long hours of Marybeth Sullivan, who is the teacher
in the initial collection of presentations, and Jim
Dunn, who serves as cinematopgrapher and video editor.
We are now in the process of mounting
the first collection of video clips up on our website.
We hope that they will be a useful resource to the entire
Montessori community.
