Alfie Kohn
Alfie Kohn writes and speaks widely on human behavior, education, and parenting. He has been described in Time magazine as “perhaps the country’s most outspoken critic of education’s fixation on grades [and] test scores.” His values are harmonious with the Montessori principles and his persuasive words can be thought-provoking and empowering for parents.
