Part 2: It’s Time to Check Some Monte-Assumptions Taking Stock of What We’ve Learned About Children, Teaching, Learning, and Leadership

One of the few positive side effects of trying to conduct an authentic Montessori program in the midst of a pandemic has been that we had been forced to re-think the nature of the prepared environment, our instructional practices, and our relations and communications with students, fellow staff, and parents. Perhaps it’s an ideal time to take a fresh look at some of our long-standing assumptions
about how we deliver Montessori education. In this leadership forum, led by Jonathan Wolff, we will consider some Montessori practices we may want to reaffirm and retain; some that may need some alteration or updating; and some we may wish to delete from our classroom practices.
