Developing Identity Conscious Montessorians

1.5 CPDs, Run Time 30:55

Join us for a transformative workshop led by AaLeiyah DeSimas on "Developing Identity Conscious Montessorians." In this interactive session, we will delve into the essential skills and strategies needed to engage in meaningful conversations about race, class, sexual orientation, gender, and disability within the Montessori community. This journey of self-discovery will provide practical tools and insights to foster a more inclusive and empathetic educational environment for students, colleagues, and parents - ultimately enriching the Montessori experience for all!
