Next webinar:
STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics competencies and Maria Montessori Science - based Pedagogy
with Veronika Kánová
How can the European Union’s STEM competencies in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics be effectively developed in Montessori classrooms for children aged 6 to 12? The Montessori approach is a research-based pedagogy that naturally supports these skills through fostering critical thinking, hands-on exploration, project-based learning, and experimentation.
In this lecture, we’ll explore specific Montessori activities that inspire logical and critical thinking, curiosity, and problem-solving in children, equipping them for the challenges of the modern world. Join us to discover how these approaches can become valuable tools in your classroom!

Cosmic Education and Key EU Competencies

The Role of invented spelling and grammar
The children’s spelling mistakes are often a cause for anxiety in teachers and parents, and they tend to make a lot of them once they start writing texts.
About this series and project:
In today’s society, Montessori elementary education is often overlooked, misunderstood, and underestimated as being out of step with modern needs. We want to change this perception by revealing the true value of Montessori—a hidden gem that fosters remarkable growth and learning in elementary classrooms every day. Our goal in educating elementary-aged children is to nurture them as global citizens, equipped with the skills they need to thrive in the world. For the future leaders and innovators, developing the eight key competencies outlined by the European Union is essential. Montessori Elementary schools have been committed to this holistic approach for years.
Our message to teachers: each day, you engage in the vital and inspiring work of shaping young minds, and we are here to support you by giving voice to your efforts, so you can feel empowered and confident in your role.
Our message to parents: have confidence in the Montessori Elementary experience—your children are cultivating the eight EU key competencies each and every day.
Goal of the project:
Our aim of this project is to create a valuable digital free resource for teachers and school admins that gives guidelines how EU Key Competencies are incorporated into Montessori elementary education theoretically and practically.
