An Introduction to Montessori Philosophy and Materials.  (This DVD is included in the Assistant’s Multimedia Training Package but can also be purchased separately).  Parent meetings, lectures at local universities or community groups that want more information on Montessori are all great examples of when you will find this DVD indispensable.  Beginning with an overview of early childhood Montessori philosophy, the DVD specifically covers materials in all five curriculum areas.  It also explains how the materials increase in abstraction and uniquely prepare children for lifelong learning - from small muscle skills and practical life activities, to the ability to see mathematical operations in three dimensions.
