Over the past 15 plus years, I’ve done 3 and 4 visits with adult learners working to fulfill their teacher evaluation and certification requirements. What has excited me about my relationship with Al Salam, Ms Zabibi and the teachers I’ve mentored, is the knowledge that the Montessori philosophy supports the mission, values, and religious beliefs of your community. Everything that promotes the development of the child as a unique person, operating on his own timeline, with his own particular skills and interests is what I’m seeing in the classroom I’m visiting at ADS ECC. The environment has transformed as have the teachers.
