Cosmic Education (6-12)
What is the webinar about?
Cosmic Education is still the educational answer to the characteristics and needs of the child from 6-12. Come and hear Kristyna Turkova and Kyla Morenz discuss how Cosmic Education prepares children to be thoughtful citizens and stewards of the Earth and our human communities.
“To understand the cosmic plan and how we introduce the elementary child to cosmic education is to understand what Dr. Montessori meant when she said of her work that it was not to be thought of as a method of education but as an ‘aid to life’. The adult at the elementary level has a grave responsibility not to teach academic subjects, but to prepare the child for a recognition of his responsibility as a human being towards the environment and human society. We can only do that if we understand the responsibility ourselves, if we appreciate the great drama that is the cosmic plan, if we can enthuse and intrigue the children and excite them about this dramatic act that is creation in all its manifestations.”
