A key phrase which is likely to appear is what the NAGC adviser said : "wider, deeper, broader" (although I'm worrying that it's a bit cliched to say the least, and the wider/ broader thing is bothering me as they are synonyms though I wouldn't use them completely interchangeably...). certainly the Montessori approach allows for all children to work at their own pace and that’s a key point in its favour when dealing with every child’s special educational needs but what I’m aiming for is something that will simultaneously impress and reassure - I’ve had a chat with one parent who is worrying that we’re racing her son ahead, when in reality we’re just responding to his own actions by offering him a wider range of materials and things to do with them.
