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.
