Webinar Description:
This webinar will discuss a behavior support program that has developed over the past 40 years at a Montessori school in Michigan. We will discuss how the program is implemented across the school, how staff remain consistent to it, how we have our leaders (“big kids”) help with maintaining it and our values, and how we use a child study process with this system to identify and target interventions. I will provide you with what you need to begin building a similar system into your classrooms and schools. I will share with you how I personally have thrived as an educator by utilizing our approach. We respect the dignity and power of children, and adhere to Montessori’s “freedom within limits”.
