Tim Seldin, Jon Wolff, and Kathy Leitch present Part 1 of Building Healthy and Harmonious Schools
We discuss strategies that we find help Montessori schools to build school communities that are healthy, harmonious and stable. It stems from the idea of clarity about your school’s unique identity and builds on our traditions of peace education. We will explore our traditions, which go back to the 1930s, of programs and practices that bring our dream of the Montessori ideal into reality.
We explore means of giving children a much more meaningful peace education curriculum and a much greater sense of personal power
• encouraging a true sense of community among the adults within our schools
• improving lines of communication
• creating a much more partnership-oriented and harmonious approach to problem-solving and decision-making through the use of the Montessori Way and developing a school culture that encourages deep engagement with the school and celebrates our differences
