Therese Hester/Founder
Therese Hester has a Master’s degree in Montessori Education from the University of St. Catherine, St. Paul, MN., and has been a Montessori Primary AMS certified teacher and director in Denver, Colorado’s private, charter and public Montessori schools for the past 35 years. She is a mother of two grown sons and a grandmother of two granddaughters. Being an advocate for young children has been the focus of her life.
Therese has been involved with the Montessori Education Center of the Rockies as a Supervising Teacher and a Field Consultant throughout her career. Currently she is serving as the Primary Math level instructor for the training center. The topic of the use of technology in Primary level classrooms has been a recurring topic at the training center as well as at the Denver Public School system where she is currently employed.
“I often wonder what Montessori would think of our current technology. As a scientist I know she would have a definite opinion. Just as she carefully developed her materials, she would find a balanced and appropriate way to incorporate technology into classrooms.” Therese Hester
Therese felt that researching and developing applications that were age level and content appropriate was an opportunity for her to be a positive influence and a helpful guide to parents on the growing use of technology by young children. This thinking led to the formation of Gliding Path and the introduction of its first app, I Dig Dinosaurs.
Paige Pan/Founder
