Episode Synopsis

Many people think of leadership as a position of power, but in Montessori, leadership is something very different. It is about service, responsibility, and inspiring others through action.Dr. Maria Montessori believed that children are naturally capable of leadership when given the right environment. She wrote, 'A child who has become master of his acts through long and repeated exercises, and who has been encouraged by the pleasant and interesting activities in which he has been engaged, is a strong and independent being.' In other words, leadership is not imposed but emerges naturally when children are empowered to take ownership of their learning and community.
