MemberAlliance For Self-Directed Learning Jan 2016 - PresentUnited StatesSelf-Directed Education is education that derives from the self-chosen activities and life experiences of the person becoming educated, whether or not those activities were chosen deliberately for the purpose of education.People learn best when they are naturally curious to learn something. When learning comes out of natural curiosity, it takes the form of exploration which is the most needed skill in any age or culture. I believe this is the most effective and productive form of learning.

Educational ConsultantCnna Jan 2013 - PresentPeople learn best when they are naturally curious to learn something. When learning comes out of natural curiosity, it takes the form of exploration which is the most needed skill in any age or culture. I believe this is the most effective and productive form of learning. I believe in the words of Dr. Montessori ,"One who desires to be a teacher must have an interest in humanity that connects the observer more closely than that which joins the biologist or zoologist to nature".Contact me if you feel you need to change the mindset of your organization!

Montessori DirectressAmbassadors School Riyadh,Ksa Sep 2010 - 2013Riyadh, Ksa1. Applying the 'Montessori Method' more precicely so that the maximum benefits of the system can be attained.2. Always plan 'Nature interactive' activities as I truely believe that NATURE has a direct impact on the normal developemnet of the human mind, body and soul. The saying 'Nature is the best teacher' is not a theoretical notion but a practical thing to be adopted in our educational settings.Its better to change your classrooms into Forest Kindergartens..4. Trying to put the factor of human CREATIVITY on top of the list because 'Academics' can be learned but for CREATIVITY to groom and prosper we need to have an environmnt which should stimulate it more rather than suppress it.4. Establishes 'Individual /one to one lessons' rather than group ones as Montessori system believes that every child is unique and different and have unique capacities and levels of understanding and development, so he should be dealt in that specific way.5. 'Freedom of Choice' should be given to all children; they should be given that environment where they are free to choose lessons/subjects /projects according to their own timings, interest and level of understanding .Montessori believed that children cannot be forced to take 'lessons/work, for example, he cannot be forced to take geography lessons if he dont feels like so what we promote in our classes is the 'Guided Freedom of choice' which is a real motivating factor in our children unlike traditional schools where kids are forced to learn different subjects at a particular time/slot and at the instructions of the teachers.6. Teachers should be Observing rather than Teaching all the time , so the Children themselves takes the charge of learning and instead of 'Listening' ,they discover things on their own. So a Montessori child seldom listen about the 'Law of Gravity', he actually discover it.7. Stress on 'ARTS' as the best way of self -expression.7. Child rights should be taken care at all the cost

Montessori DirectressAmbassadors School, Riyadh , Early Childhood Education Sep 2010 - 2013Riyadh, KsaI worked as a Montessori Directress. I enjoyed my time with little children as we all learned together. The schools trusted me to feel free to adopt Montessori principles and do as much as I can for the real learning to happen. I got many fantastic ideas from different people around the globe and it really worked well to go with the Child-centered approaches. Forest Kindergartens , Mud pie kitchens, using basic carpenter's tools , tree climbing, Ant hunting, story making, puppet shows created by kids, and many more interesting things which comes under the broad curriculum of Montessori .
