The Production of Knowledge: Exploring media as a means of data collection

1.5 CPDs. Run Time: 1:02

In this PD live session with Donovan Livingston, we will explore how we define knowledge and how it’s produced.

Donovan Livingston will challenge teachers to:
Expand their understanding of what counts as data
Recognize Montessori students and families as knowledge bearers in our school communities.
Tailor what we want to study in our given populations based on what our students and families already know and do well.
