A “Montessori Fair” hosted by Montessori Schools in Lexington-Fayette, Scott, Woodford, Madison, Clark and Jessamine Counties. The event features keynote speaker Trevor Eissler, Author of “Montessori Madness: A Parent to Parent Argument for Montessori Education” with each participating school being represented. The goal is to the raise awareness and benefits of Montessori Education.
We invite parents considering an educational alternative, or, anyone who is just curious to learn what Montessori is all about.
Montessori Schools in Lexington and the surrounding counties offer a full continuum of education from toddlers through high school – so parents of children of any age should attend.
About the Speaker:
Trevor Eissler, father of three Montessori students, is a business jet pilot and flight instructor. Over the past fifteen years, he has taught hundreds of pilots, from beginners to professional pilots. He is an author, a juggler, a unicyclist, a pianist, a triathlete, and a husband. He wants to be a Montessori student when he grows up.
When considering educational opportunities for his children, he and his wife happened upon Montessori Education through a recommendation of a friend. After enrolling his children in a Montessori school he fell in love with the teaching method.
Frustration set in as he talked with family, friends, and peers only to discover how many people had not heard of Montessori or had misconceptions about Montessori teaching methods. This experience compelled Trevor to write a book entitled “Montessori Madness: A Parent to Parent Argument for Montessori Education” and begin a personally journey dedicated to spreading the word about Montessori Education.
Trevor’s shares his passion from the perspective of a newcomer to Montessori and as a parent appealing to the typical busy parent who finds it challenging to dedicate time for researching educational opportunities. Trevor provides examples of how Montessori education applies to the real world. Using his experience as an airline pilot, Trevor draws connections between what children learn in the Montessori classroom and how many careers use the same principals taught in the Montessori classroom.
