An Important New Course
Audience: Elementary Montessori Teachers, Assistants and School Administrators
More and more schools are experiencing an increase in enrollment of Special Needs Students.
The Montessori Method is wonderfully suited for children with exceptionalities, but many Montessori guides struggle to understand and meet the needs of challenging children while peacefully including these children in a normalized classroom.
Working with The Montessori Foundation, Montessori Guide and Special Educator, Maria Eva Chaffin, M.Ed.; and Behavior Analyst, Brynn Rangel, M.B.A. have joined together to deliver comprehensive and unique insight and guidance on addressing children with challenging behavior.
Brynn Rangel brings her insight as a Behavior Analyst in the Montessori classroom to better understand and identify patterns and strategies for children with varying exceptionalities.
Maria Eva Chaffin offers extensive Montessori and Special Needs teaching and classroom experience to leverage the Montessori Method to interpret and apply behavioral strategies in the classroom to normalize struggling children.
Experience video examples of Real, Practical and Applicable strategies being applied in a Montessori classroom to actual students with challenging behavior.
Schedule: Each week we will meet for a 90-minute live video workshop led by Maria Eva Chaffin, Brynn Rangel, and Tim Seldin.
There will also be an mp3 audio version of the live session and a workbook in PDF form for you to print out.
Each suggests a week-long process of thought and consideration.
We will upload the video and audio files shortly after each live session.
Participants will have ongoing access to the course.
Objectives:
• Summarize how the Montessori method applies to Special Needs Students, the accommodations and modifications required.
• Identify what is required from the teachers to support a classroom with children with challenging behavior.
• Identify strategies that will decrease challenging behavior and improve the quality of life for all children in the Montessori environment.
Cost: $175 - Ongoing Access
