2025 AIMS Conference

Becoming a teacher often stems from a passion for students rather than a love for working with adults or parents. Engaging with these groups can feel challenging, but it doesn’t have to be. Together, we’ll explore practical strategies to help you confidently build strong, genuine relationships with your parent community from the start.

This seminar, presented by two Montessorians with experience in the Primary, Lower Elementary and Adolescent levels, will help you integrate vital Digital Citizenship lessons seamlessly into your Montessori curriculum -- and get your students involved in the conversations. Learn the Montessori-based rationale behind the basics of Digital Citizenship, as well as how you can help your students develop the modern Practical Life skills they need to thrive in a digital world. From infant-toddlers through adolescents, you can support your students in navigating the online world with critical thinking, confidence, and peace – even if no technology is used in your classroom.

In our post-pandemic world filled with anxiety, devices, lack of exploration, and missed developmental opportunities students big and small have been impacted. Now more than ever they need support to develop their social-emotional, self-regulation, concentration, and cooperative skills. In this session, explore tools and strategies for supporting students’ current needs through regulating elements of the Montessori environment, positive behavior supports and strategies, and social-emotional learning and _x000D_
