Maybe we can find some time to join the teachers group, although I’m not very into Facebook.

It really does begin with the universe as context.

As co-authors of the book, “Children of the Universe: Cosmic Education for the Montessori Elementary Classroom,” we paid particular attention to the place of Cosmic Education in the curriculum.…[Read more]

I agree with everything you have on the list of principles.1) orienting to an evolving universe – this is the basis of cosmic education.2) matrix – g…[Read more]

I think your attempt to expose “pre-school” age children to the concept of evolution is great, particularly with an enchanting story book. I don’t know whether these young children will fully understand the concept of shared ancestry, but it can’t hurt to expose them to it for whatever level they can internalize it. Even if they don’t…[Read more]

We can’t assume that even those students coming from Montessori elementary are totally familiar with the details of the Cosmic Education story that helps them unify all their…[Read more]

There are definitely practical implications for stu…[Read more]
