Montessori Classroom Leadership

This course explores the integrated factors leading to effective management of a Montessori classroom, with special emphasis on the Montessori approach to discipline, observation, and communication. Students will read from original publications by Montessori as well as auxiliary material for developing and teaching effective communication skills. Students will also have the opportunity to devise a template for practicing observation and apply it to videos of an actual Montessori classroom. During the course, students will analyze current systems for formal record keeping in a Montessori classroom in order to develop a personal record-keeping method.
