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!

Nature is fundamental in the learning process of the elementary child. Montessori encouraged children to be free and play outdoors, even in the rain. These experiences lay the foundation for the work of the second plane child. Free play outdoors encourages resilience, creativity, collaboration, empathy, and a sense of belonging. This workshop will explore how to create and facilitate authentic nature exploration for all learners.
