I am so glad to be part of this blog, and a group of teachers who are so committed to the growth of young people. Although I am not yet trained in Montessori, I chose to enroll my child in Towles Montessori. I trust the community and style of learning offered to my child. Thank you for living the life of a Montessori teacher, allowing me to provide reading instruction to Montessori students, and accepting me as a peer in this learning community.
I am inspired by Joshua's posting about trust. I trust Towles is the appropriate environment for each student to reach his or her potential. Each teacher offers so much to our community and to the students. Your trust in Maria Montessori is what liberates each student to fulfill their destiny. Keep the trust alive!
I blindly opened The Tao of Montessori and was delighted to see this quote:
Either education contributes to a movement of universal liberation by showing the way to defend and raise humanity or it becomes like one of those organs which have shriveled up by not being used during the evolution of the organism. ~Maria Montessori
Here's to keeping FWCS and Towles alive and moving forward, for the best! I am excited about the discourse to follow!

Fidarsi
According to wordreference.com "fidarsi" is Italian for trust. The exact translation is "believe", or "have confidence in". Anyone who speaks Italian, please feel free to correct us.
Most, if not all of us, were educated in traditional public schools. Most, if not all of us, were trained in college to be traditional public school teachers. Most, if not all of us, have some experience, or a lot of experience, teaching in a traditionally public classroom. It's a part of who we all are. It's our default mode. It's what we are comfortable with. Enter Fidarsi. We are a part of a Montessori Public school, learning to trust the Montessori Way. Fidarsi is the conversation we will continue to engage in as we learn to trust each other, while learning to trust the Montessori Way.
Welcome to the conversation.
