Just watched a TEDx talked (retweeted by Dintersmith). Having talked with a teacher and a former-teacher (both Unit 4) about our current classrooms, also in the context of Montessori. At the end of the conversation, we agreed that what we do now is very adult-centered, but what we think we need is something more student-centered.

The title of this TEDx talk flips the current approach; teachers as leaners and students as leaders:

What I love about this TEDx is what the speaker ends with, which I have used as the subject of this email. It really has to come down to how we relate with each other.
