Understanding Montessori’s Core Components as a Basis to our Reflective Practice

1.5 CPDs, Runtime: 54:47

This webinar will cover an in-depth exploration of the core components of Montessori education.  We will examine how these components manifest in our unique school and classroom settings, and how they can help us foster equitable spaces where all students can thrive and feel a sense of belonging. Additionally, we will discuss how these components can serve as tools for teachers to reflect on their day-to-day practices and encourage a cycle of continued reflection.
