Creating a personal schedule helps YOU, US, and YOU!  Planning your day ahead of time will:
1) Leaves YOU more time for connecting with fellow Montessorians during the conference
2) Allow US to help determine the best room size for each session
3) Because of #2, increase YOUR chances of safely and comfortably attending every session you planned on (without sitting on the floor)!

PLEASE CHECK BACK FOR FINAL TIMES AND ROOM ASSIGNMENTS OF EACH SESSION CLOSER TO THE START OF THE CONFERENCE!

The Prepared Teacher
Saturday February 22, 2025 3:00pm - 4:15pm CST
This session is inspired by a session we offered for a parent enrichment night on what a "Prepared Parent" looked like. This session will begin by speaking on the ideal Montessori Teacher, using a word cloud to help us open discussion. This part will follow with teaching styles, recognizing the kind of teacher you are. This will lead into teacher guilt and discussion on what that looks like and how it can feel like. Tools will be offered as well as a small discussion to come up with more strategies to support each teacher in the classroom. We will end this session with an activity- creating vision boards.
