Description
This workshop teaches the best methods of engaging with children to foster a highly effective learning environment. It instructs participants in child behavior and how to best help children learn to manage themselves through self-regulation. It provides a number of tips and strategies for guiding children in positive ways that respect the child and help normalize the classroom environment. Sections include Normalization, Root Causes of Behavior, the Role of the Adult, Child Guidance, Supporting Independence, and the Montessori Decalogue. By gaining an understanding of these, workshop participants will be able to effectively meet the challenges of the Montessori classroom.
Each lesson in the workshop consists of a topic and a hands-on assignment in the accompanying user manual. Work through them at your own pace any time of the day or night. To maximize your learning, however, we suggest you spread out the lessons over the course of a week or more so that you can spend time focusing on your new understanding from each topic in the classroom the next day.
