Webinar Description:
This webinar invites educators to return to the heart of Maria Montessori’s work through one of her most powerful yet rarely quoted ideas: that the true aim of education is to make children happy. Together, we will explore what this vision looks like in today’s classrooms by revisiting the qualities Montessori described as “normal” and reexamining the concept of normalization as a pathway to joy, balance, and well-being. Participants will be guided to thoughtfully consider the expectations placed on us by parents and administrators—and how those external pressures shape our own beliefs and practices in the classroom. Finally, we will dive into the meaning of freedom in a Montessori environment, exploring how offering children the freedom to become fully themselves is not only foundational to learning, but essential to helping them be all they can be.
