S
am Gan Tan from Manila works at
the International Montessori School
in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert. After
starting work at her mothers fash-
ion design business, she found that
teaching was her real calling, and as
a former Montessori pupil, she wanted to train in
the style of learning she loved. After working in
the Philippines and the US, she came to Brus-
sels and has been teaching here for the past eight
years.
What iS the MonteSSori ethoS?
Montessori is all about the child, and how
children can be helped to blossom and unfold.
Its individualised education. We want them to
develop inner motivation and discipline, and
a love for learning. Its also materials-based.
Children learn on their own by working with
materials rather than through direct instruction,
and as teachers were like a link. Montessori also
believes that when you use your hands and your
mind together, you absorb more. We have mixed-
age classrooms and children are encouraged to
direct their own learning, to think critically and
laterally and to go out and to explore.
hoW iS it taught, and hoW iS it different
to MainStreaM education?
We give two or three formal lessons a day, with a
group of two or four children. In our classrooms
I have all sorts of
memories of doing
what the children
do, and I just want
to share that
children could be working on a project about
space, cuneiform writing, an ancient civilisation
or a simple maths challenge. It could take 30 min-
utes, three hours, three days or three weeks! For
me, we stand apart from a traditional school in
the way we train children for full-time decision
making. We ask them to think about what their
options are, to consider things such as What
would I like to do today? How would I like to start
my day? We are trained to follow the child. We
have to balance the freedom we give with limits,
of course; responsibility is attached to it.
hoW are leSSonS Scheduled Within that
philoSophy?
There isnt a period for language, maths or geog-
raphy. We dont have strict class times; we follow
the children. In conventional schools, children
have permanent places but here they can sit
anywhere, as long as they respect that they cant
disturb the people around them. They can also
choose when to have a snack, and they have the
freedom to converse and move around. We dont
have exams either, in the primary environment.
But we work so closely with them that every day
is an assessment theyre just not aware of it.
I have to prepare lessons the night before but
mostly just mentally. From your training you
already have your curriculum with everything
in it. The children ask tons of questions, which

forces you to learn and investigate as you go
along. Thats why I love being a teacher learning
new things every day. I planned to have a lesson
on geography this morning. We have a group of
four, but one might really want to continue a pro-
ject they started yesterday. So maybe Ill take two
instead. You have a plan but because we follow the
children, its flexible.
hoW do pupilS take control of their
oWn learning?
We encourage them to go out and to investigate.
Last year went they went to Planckendael Zoo.
We like them to organise trips on their own. We
give them a list of parents to supervise the trips
and they call them to arrange it. They organised
interviews with Planckendael themselves.
hoW Many children are in your claSS?
There are 30 children and three adults. We have a
three-year age range in each class, and we think
the classroom should reflect the outside world.
Older children help the younger ones out. Its
normal to see third-graders discussing, collaborat-
ing and problem-solving with fourth- and fifth-
graders. Its easier for us, too. In a class of 30 all the
same age, they would all need the same things.
Why did you becoMe a MonteSSori
teacher?
I was a Montessori child myself, then when I was
13 I had to go to a traditional Catholic school.
What I appreciated about Montessori was that we
could make our own decisions. I loved learning as
a child. I have all sorts of memories of doing what
the children do, and I just want to share that. To
contribute to making the world a better place.
Children are so creative and uninhibited! They
have such bright ideas, and they can achieve such
great wonders if we just let them.
WhatS a typical day for you?
I get up very early, at 5.40. I often hit snooze on
the alarm clock! I get my two children ready,
drop them off at a sister school of the one I teach
at, and get here at 8.10. I live in Leefdaal, which is
20 minutes away without traffic, but it generally
takes an hour. School starts at 8.30 and I usually
need a little quiet time to read my notes. When
class starts, the children can move around and we
may have a group working together on one thing,
or four children working on four different things.
Lunch is around 12.00, and we eat with the chil-
dren. One child is in charge of heating the lunches.
At 12.45 we tidy up, the classroom is cleaned and
swept, we put the dishwasher on and then the
children go outside. If the weather is nice we stay
until 2.00, or we come back in and they play board
games. Then we have quiet reading time for half an
hour. Outside is a release of energy and then its
time to gather yourself and your thoughts. Then
theres another hour or so of work. We dont have
blocks of time; we get children into a flow. We
dont like interrupting, so it all depends what time
we get in after lunch. At 3.15 we clean up again,
and 15 minutes later the children go home. KM
