Professional Development Resources for Montessori Schools and Organizations

 

Before starting ClassrooMechanics, Aaron was in the technology and information industries, having worked both in the private sector and then in public libraries doing web development, research, reference work, and branch management. In our efforts to help schools, teachers and organizations deliver high-fidelity Montessori education to children and their families, he has worked along side Tammy to produce a variety of content including blog articles, book reviews, and infographics as well as curating and sharing a variety of articles and online resources that are of interest to Montessori educators. As a librarian, he can’t resist the desire to share great information. Below you will find descriptions of these various resources along with links to them so you can take advantage of them in your practice.

Infographics

These packs of infographics provide a visual, quick-reference collection of tools to help manage the daily operations of busy Montessori classrooms, schools, or homes. They collect a variety of tips and strategies for working with children, parents, teachers, documentation, communication, and other recurring daily activities and provide a reminder of best practices to help you stay true to the Montessori method.

There are FOUR different infographic products, and while they have similar titles, they are slightly different based on their intended audience.  To see information about a specific product or to purchase, click on the bundle name below:
