Join us for the online Positive Discipline in the Montessori Classroom Practitioner’s Class
Bay Area Montessori Association
Monday Evenings Beginning February 12th
The 8-week Practitioner’s Class is based on the book, Positive Discipline in the Montessori Classroom, by Jane Nelsen and Chip DeLorenzo. The class uses a child study approach, designed to help participants learn how to implement respectful, effective, and time-tested methods of classroom management that reflect our deepest values as Montessori educators: mutual respect, cooperation, responsibility, empathy, and independence.
Using real classroom situations, new and veteran educators and administrators will learn how to:
-
Create a classroom community and social/emotional environment that will reduce misbehavior and foster normalization;
-
Create student support plans to help children with behavioral challenges;
-
Develop clear and consistent practices amongst the adults in their classrooms to meet behavioral challenges respectfully and effectively;
-
Understand the roots of misbehavior in children;
-
Empower children to be respectful, cooperative, and responsible members of the classroom community;
-
Help children find a sense of belonging and significance in their classroom community;
-
Effectively train assistants in classroom management;
-
Develop school-wide practices that will help parents as well as teachers.
