Why This Matters for Montessori Guides
Children in the second plane ask profound questions about humanity:
Who were the first humans? Where did we come from? What makes us human?
To be able to answer clearly, guides need:
- updated materials
- accurate scientific grounding
- coherent storytelling
- and practical strategies for follow-up work
This refresher gives you all of that.
You will understand the intent, structure and message of the updated materials, and learn how to use them confidently in your classroom.
