Teach kids to be Curious, Self-Reliant & Kind–Montessori Method with Laura Mazer | E25

This chat is all about innovation in education with AI. We're joined by Laura Mazer – a former surgeon turned educational innovator who is reimagining how children learn. She is currently the Head of School at Montessorium, an elementary program that blends the independence and hands-on self-guided exploration of traditional Montessori with personalized, AI tech-powered learning. Laura brings a deep understanding of both rigorous scientific thinking and child-centered learning, combining her background in STEM with a passion for how kids learn best.Laura has been leading Montessorium through a really innovative shift from the “Two-Hour Learning” model to what’s now called Timeback. It’s all about giving kids focused academic time with the support of AI-powered learning, and then returning that extra time to them for exploration, creativity, and independence—at the very heart of Montessori philosophy.And that’s what makes this conversation so special. AI has become kind of an ambiguous word lately—people only talk about generative AI, large language models, and all the hype or fear around it. But AI can also be a powerful force for education. Hope you learn from and enjoy this conversation as much as we did—it’s a conversation that’s equal parts education, technology, and hope for the next generation.If you want to learn more about Montessorium, here are additional details: https://www.instagram.com/montessorium/https://x.com/montessoriumhttps://newsletter.montessorium.com/Website: montessorium.schoolWe’d love to hear from you too.
