Let us have time ... Montessori pedagogy à la Hans Elsner is a German documentary film from 1993 by Jean Christopher Burger with the German teacher Hans Elsner .

content

The film documents learning children in the Montessori primary school in Gilbachstrasse in Cologne and at the same time portrays the school founder and teacher of this school, Hans Elsner . The film depicts specific learning situations in the Gilbachstrasse elementary school sensitively, patiently and with incisive accuracy. In doing so, the question is asked how it can be possible for school teaching to follow up on the experiences the children have brought with them, to deepen them and to introduce them to an independent way of dealing with things and the world. At the same time, an individualizing portrait of a teacher is drawn who, on the one hand, explains his understanding of Montessori education and, on the other hand, persistently refuses to deal with theory in isolation from the individual child.
