Part 2: Close Up Radio Welcomes Back Retired Montessori Educator Darlene Netzer
in Education
Ridgefield, WA - Darlene Netzer, a distinguished educator and passionate advocate for the Montessori method, is thrilled to announce her continued dedication and commitment to shaping young minds through innovative teaching strategies. With a background in both public and Montessori education, Darlene Netzer brings a unique and rich perspective to the learning environment, particularly at the secondary level.
Darlene Netzer’s educational journey is rooted deeply in her early life experiences.
Darlene holds a master’s degree in Montessori education, which she complemented with valuable insights from her time teaching in public schools. At St. Francis Academy in Portland, Darlene taught grades 7 through 12, dividing her students into junior and senior divisions. Her innovative approach often involved setting up a writing workshop, acting as the core from which various subjects seamlessly integrated. She focused on following the child, allowing students to explore their interests and build upon them.
As a firm advocate for Montessori education, Darlene encourages parents and educational stakeholders to understand its benefits and commit to holistic educational experiences. She highlights the importance of integrating core subjects with their lives, as demonstrated through various projects and ‘earth children’ experiences at St. Francis Academy.
“Montessori education goes beyond academics, preparing students for life,” Darlene states. “Through real-world applications, such as planning educational trips and practical projects, students develop essential skills that prepare them for the future.”

Every TBI survivor and caregiver has encountered a fork in the road that has diverted his or her life-plan. A car accident, a fall from the roof, doing one more chin-up, or a door literally slamming one in the face are just some causes of traumatic brain injury. College plans, walking down the aisle in the perfect dress, or the coveted job quickly slip from reality as dreams turn to struggle. These unexpected life-happenings that divert one from his or her chosen path in life can be devastating. But as Yogi Berra once said, "If you come to a fork in the road, take it." Life is all about choices! To learn more about me, please visit my blog and website.
