To shift the paradigm away from "new is better in education," this project will honor and confirm the vast knowledge and experience of the Golden Members of the Global Montessori Community, those precious, selfless people who have dedicated their lives to the nourishment of children and through their work, the betterment of mankind. During two yearly weekend retreats, we will record a series of panels and casual discussions with selected retired Montessori teachers and administrators via videotape and transcribed audio to transmit their experience to future generations. This will culminate in the publishing of our yearbook and an online video archive accessible to the public.
