Webinar: What Teachers Want and Need From Their School Administration with Kitty Bravo!

We surveyed hundreds of Montessori teachers and teacher education students and asked this question. You may be surprised to hear their answers. Now more than ever, as we struggle to find and keep qualified teachers, it is important for administrators to understand the needs and expectations of their teachers. In this session we will explore those needs and discuss strategies for creating positive work environments where every teacher feels valued, supported, and empowered in their work with our children and families.
