    The class uses a case study approach to discovering the principles and tools of Positive Discipline in the Montessori Classroom.  The class gives participants the opportunity to connect with other Montessori educators in an experiential setting to learn how to implement the respectful and time-tested classroom management approach that builds responsibility, independence, motivation and empathy within classroom communities.

    Using real classroom situations, participants will learn to:

    • Prepare a classroom social/emotional environment that will reduce misbehavior.

    • Create effective support plans to help students with behavioral challenges.

    • Develop clear and consistent practices among adults to meet behavioral challenges respectfully and effectively.

    • Understand the roots of misbehavior in children.

    • Help children develop self-regulation, cooperation, and independence.

    • Help students find a sense of belonging and significance in their classroom community.

    • Develop school-wide practices that will help teachers and parents.

    While there is no magic bullet for managing behavioral challenges, there are concrete principles and skills that can be learned by adults that will help develop respect and cooperation in the classroom, and effectively respond to misbehavior in a manner that helps children for the long-term. 

    We hope you will join us for this workshop.
