Rob Keys has been involved in Montessori education for nearly 40 years as a teacher, administrator, consultant, teachereducator, and presenter. He has presented at AMS national and regional conferences, written for Montessori Life, and has served on MACTE and AISNE evaluation teams. Rob has been a teacher-trainer with Seacoast Center since its inception in 1992, and founded Beyond The Mountain, a non profit organization that provided material and training in Haiti. He has trained teachers at public and private schools in the United States, as well as South Korea, Ghana, Shanghai and Indonesia. He is the author of Follow the Child: The Basics, the Misunderstandings, And Underlying Lessons of a Montessori Education. Follow the Child shares essential Montessori concepts in a style that reads like a conversation with a friend over coffee. In exploring the themes and practices of this well-integrated approach to childhood education the author surprises us with obvious and the not so obvious, the misconceptions and history, as well as an exploration of its vast, integrated curriculum and overall themes. Comprehensive in its approach, it’s written in a style accessible to all with interest in the complex simplicity of children.
