What do Sue's students say about her?
“Schools can’t become the best places for students to learn and growth unless we make them the best places for teachers to work and growth.”Julie Hasson
“Before we can provide help, we must understand. Follow the path from childhood to adulthood through observation. If we can understand we can help, and this help must be the plan of our education. Based not on their defects but on their greatness.”Maria Montessori
“If the teacher can really enter into the joy of seeing things being born and growing under his own eyes, and can clothe himself in the garment of humility, many delights are reserved for him that are denied to those who assume infallibility and authority in front of a class.”Maria Montessori
“It is necessary that the human personality should be prepared for the unforeseen, not only for the conditions that can be anticipated by prudence and foresight…For success in life depends in every case on self-confidence and the knowledge of one’s own capacity and many-sided powers of adaptation.”Maria Montessori
