You all should check out the Montessori schools here on island. It is anything but your traditional American classroom. There is one in Mangilao, down the street from UOG, next to New Young Market. It’s called the Chalan Pago Montessori School. I have no idea why they named it that when it’s located in Mangilao. The director and founder was not trained in Montessori but they follow the curriculum. If you want the real deal, check out the Harmon Montessori across the Micronesian Mall. If you’re not too familiar with Maria Montessori’s methods, you’ll really get a kick out of this school. It’s always interesting to observe different learning techniques. I hope you enjoy the video clip above. It gives you an overview of the Montessori methods. Seriously!.. Put this on your list of schools to observe for your practicum class if you haven’t already taken it!
