The Great Story of Observation


Andy Lulka and Regina Lulka


What is observation, and how do we truly become observers?

In this presentation, Andy and Regina Lulka explore what observation means in the Montessori context. They discuss scientific breakthroughs that have changed how we perceive our universe, our place within it, and how we think about observation. This presentation will encourage you to reexamine your own practices and make the shift toward deeper, transformative observations.
