and still less to force him to memorize, but so
to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his
innermost core. - Dr. Maria Montessori

City of Leicester On first impression, LEICESTER
is a resolutely modern city, but further
inspection reveals traces of its medieval and
Roman past, situated immediately to the west of
the downtown shopping area, near the River Soar.
The Romans, choosing this site in the middle of
the territory of the rebellious Coritani,
developed Leicester's precursor, Ratae
Coritanorum, as a fortified town on the Fosse
Way. Subsequently, in the eighth century, the
Danes colonized the town and later still its
medieval castle became the base of the earls of
Leicester

Montessori Learning
UK International School of Excellence

• Cognitive about absorbing new data and gaining
  of insights into existing frameworks of
  association. Changing habits, such as learning to
  approach people positively rather than avoiding
  them or to give them feedback skilfully, is much
  more challenging than simply adding new data to
  old.
• Emotional learning involves this and more.
  Emotional learning involves new ways of thinking
  and acting that are more in tune with our
  identity our values and beliefs and attitudes
  to resistance of change.
