In the early 20th century Dr. Maria Montessori's innovative theory of infant education took the world by storm. Advocating for allowing the child freedom in pursuing his "inner work", the work of the mind, her method includes a series of scientifically designed teaching materials (didactic materials) that encourage the child to proceed at her own pace with minimal guidance from the teacher.

Story
In Free to Learn, developmental psychologist Peter Gray argues that our children, if free to pursue their own interests through play, will not only learn all they need to know but will do so with energy and passion. Children come into this world burning to learn, equipped with the curiosity, playfulness, and sociability to direct their own education. Yet we have squelched such instincts in a school model originally developed to indoctrinate, not to promote intellectual growth.

Years ago, Tabitha Brown started a 30-day personal challenge that she called “I Did a New Thing!” The challenge was simple. Every day she would do something she’d never done before. Sometimes it was something small like trying a new food. Other times, she’d step it up a bit and speak to someone she’d never spoken to before. Still other times, she’d do the hard thing—facing a fear that she had, like having that tough conversation with a friend. No matter what it was, the point was that she was going to take a leap of faith and watch God open up a new lane for her.

John Taylor Gatto's Weapons of Mass Instruction focuses on mechanisms of traditional education which cripple imagination, discourage critical thinking, and create a false view of learning as a byproduct of rote-memorization drills. Gatto's earlier book, Dumbing Us Down, introduced the now-famous expression of the title into the common vernacular. Weapons of Mass Instruction adds another chilling metaphor to the brief against conventional schooling.

Publisher's summary
"The Absorbent Mind" by Dr. Maria Montessori, published in 1949, explores the natural development of children and outlines Montessori's innovative educational philosophy. The book introduces the concept of the "absorbent mind," highlighting young children's innate ability to effortlessly absorb information from their surroundings.
In the first part, covering birth to six years, Montessori identifies distinct developmental stages. The absorbent mind operates during this period, fostering spontaneous exploration, imitation, and a natural inclination to acquire knowledge without conscious effort.
The second part focuses on the practical application of Montessori's observations in education. She advocates for a prepared environment that caters to the child's developmental needs, encouraging independence and self-directed learning. Montessori redefines the teacher's role as a guide, facilitating exploration rather than dictating learning.
Montessori's holistic approach encompasses physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development. Movement, sensory experiences, and hands-on learning are essential components for creating a comprehensive educational experience.
"The Absorbent Mind" has significantly influenced education, shaping the Montessori method globally. Principles like a prepared environment, teacher as a guide, and recognition of sensitive periods for learning have become integral to Montessori education.
In conclusion, "The Absorbent Mind" remains a cornerstone in educational literature. Montessori's insights prompt reflection on learning, the importance of nurturing innate curiosity, and the impact of a thoughtfully designed educational environment. The book serves as a timeless resource for those interested in holistic child development and progressive educational practices.

Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together.

The latest groundbreaking tome from Tim Ferriss, the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek. For the last two years, I've interviewed more than 200 world-class performers for my podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show. The guests range from super celebs (Jamie Foxx, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.) and athletes (icons of powerlifting, gymnastics, surfing, etc.) to legendary Special Operations commanders and black-market biochemists. For most of my guests, it’s the first time they’ve agreed to a two-to-three-hour interview.

Advocating for allowing the child freedom in pursuing his "inner work", the work of the mind, her method includes a series of scientifically designed teaching materials (didactic materials) that encourage the child to proceed at her own pace with minimal guidance from the teacher.

While social and emotional learning (SEL) is most familiar as compartmentalized programs separate from academics, the truth is, all learning is social and emotional. What teachers say, the values we express, the materials and activities we choose, and the skills we prioritize all influence how students think, see themselves, and interact with content and with others.

Drawing on his own experience of feeling undervalued and invisible in classrooms as a young man of color, Dr. Christopher Emdin has merged his experiences with more than a decade of teaching and researching in urban America. He takes to task the perception of urban youth of color as unteachable, and he challenges educators to embrace and respect each student’s culture and to reimagine the classroom as a site where roles are reversed and students become the experts in their own learning.
