Maria Montessori believed in children's instinctual ability to teach themselves. My guest, Dr. Jessica Phillips-Silver, shares that belief. Dr. Phillips-Silver is a neuroscientist and expert on healthy brain development in children. She has also studied Montessori education extensively.

On this episode of Know-It-All, Dr. Phillips-Silver shares with us how parents and educators can adopt the Montessori mindset to let children lead the way to their own academic, social, and emotional nirvana.

Host, Allison R. Brown, is a civil rights attorney and owner of Allison Brown Consulting (ABC), which creates education equity plans and promotes equity in education in compliance with federal law.
