The School of Innovation will integrate a Montessori elementary, middle, and high school program into the Corbin Independent School District. Montessori education is an internationally recognized program of learning that provides a safe and inviting school environment while incorporating community involvement and work experiences, stated the district in a press release. \u201cWe have actually been doing Montessori for quite some time because we are very focused on individualized and personalized learning,\u201d said Mark Daniels, director of pupil personnel and grants. \u201cThis was just a natural fit.\u201d Certified Montessori educators will focus on student-centered, inquire-based instruction, including business experiences where middle and high school learners will explore economic independences, stated the release. Four teachers are currently going through the training process. One teacher will work with elementary students, one with middles school students and the other two will work at the high school level. \u201cWhat I love best about Montessori is that it challenges us to support a child\u2019s authentic need to grow and become self-reliant,\u201d said Cari Calico, a soon-to-be certified Montessori Guide. \u201cOur role is to care, observe, and guide the whole child. We want the students to value themselves and the contributions they can give to their community as they mature.\u201d Calico said, \u201cMontessori is an education in preparation not just for school, but for life.\u201d Participants in the program will be able to accelerate their learning and be involved in project-based instructional activities, stated the release. \u201cSchedules are available in 5 or 3 full day patterns for elementary, along with 5, 3 or flexible day patterns for middle and high school students,\u201d stated the release. Corbin School of Innovation will be home to the only K-12 Montessori program available in southeastern Kentucky, stated the release. Space is limited in the program, so to enroll, visit www.corbininnovate.org and fill out the enrollment forms. For more information, contact Mark Daniels at (606) 528-1303."}
