Metamorphosis 2008: Montessori Event

January 31st, 2008

The Indian Montessori Association, in association with Indian Institute for Montessori Studies has been conducting the ‘Montessori Mela’ during the month of February every year, under the name ‘Metamorphosis’. Over the years this event has generated a lot of response from Montessorians and public alike. As per the request of public, we have decided to dedicate Metamorphosis 2008 to bring the program for primary age group to public notice.

The Association is setting up a working primary class room to bring clarity to the idea of Montessori and to give those interested a glimpse into the way the program works. Children from various schools will take turns to work there. There will also an exhibition of a preprimary class, with trained teachers to explain the usage of materials. Events will be staged from time to time by children of different schools throughout the day.

At the exhibition, the changes in the child at each stage of development, his needs, his tasks and the approach to educate him will be portrayed in the stall of Indian Institute of Montessori Studies. The trainee teachers of the Institute will explain activities of the children to the visitors. There will also be a panel of experienced Montessorians from both preprimary and primary to answer questions of the public. Stalls of manufacturers of materials, publishers of books and information regarding schools will also be available.

We propose to release our magazine to coincide with the occasion. It will contain articles on the Montessori method as a whole and a directory of Montessori schools and material manufacturers.
