Check on the Human, Not Just the Doing: A Montessori Leader’s Bold Call for Change - Shanina Draughn
Brighter Together
In this episode of Brighter Together, I sit down with Shanina Draughn, head of Macomb Montessori Academy, to explore a revolutionary perspective in education: prioritizing the human experience over mere academic performance. Shanina shares her journey from traditional teaching methods to embracing the Montessori philosophy, emphasizing the importance of allowing children to guide their own learning. We discuss the critical role of social-emotional learning and how fostering empathy and self-regulation can transform educational environments. Discover how Shanina's bold approach not only supports students’ academic growth but also nurtures their emotional well-being, ultimately creating a more compassionate community. Join us as we challenge the status quo and advocate for a more holistic approach to education.
