SUMMARY:Webinar: Practical Life in the 21st Century: Guiding Children in an AI-Driven Era with Jorge Haro!
DESCRIPTION:This engaging and thought-provoking webinar invites educators to rethink the role of Practical Life in today’s rapidly changing world. In an era shaped by AI\, increased screen time\, and growing uncertainty\, children need more than academic knowledge; they need the human skills that allow them to adapt\, connect\, and thrive. Drawing from Montessori principles and real classroom experience\, Jorge Haro explores how Practical Life serves as the foundation for developing executive function\, responsibility\, collaboration\, and true independence. Participants will leave with a renewed understanding of why “real life” work is more essential than ever. More importantly\, this session goes beyond theory and into action. Jorge shares concrete\, modern examples of how Practical Life can evolve across all planes of development\, from Primary to Upper Elementary\, integrating real-world skills such as time management\, problem-solving\, digital creation\, and civic responsibility. With inspiring stories and practical strategies you can implement immediately\, this webinar will challenge you to shift your perspective and empower you to design meaningful experiences that prepare children not just for school but for life. \nProposed Audience: This session is intended for all Montessori guides and administrators. \nHow to Register For This Event: \nPlease note: You may register at any time before the live event on June 1st\, 2026. \nRegistration for the event will close at 6:45 PM\, 15 minutes before the start time.

SUMMARY:Webinar: 'Working with Key Children: How do we support our most vulnerable children?' with Elizabeth Slade!
DESCRIPTION:​Description of Webinar:   \nKey children are the children who hold the keys to our transformation. They show us where we haven’t yet clarified a procedure and routine\, skills or strategies we haven’t yet learned\, or types of learners we are unfamiliar with and don’t yet understand. They may have big personalities\, have experienced trauma\, or be Neurodiverse learners. Regardless\, they take extra care and consideration from their families and  educators. \nMontessori schools are seeing a rise in the number of Key children they are supporting. How do we work with them within our method? This session will open the conversation and offer strategies and tools specifically designed with Key children in mind. In addition\, it will be an opportunity to come together with others to discuss this timely topic. \nNote: This webinar is applicable for Montessori educators at all levels (Infant/Toddler through Secondary)\, as the principles and strategies shared can be adapted to support Key children across developmental planes. \n​How to Register For This Event: \nPlease note: You may register at any time before the live event on April 22nd\, 2026. \nRegistration for the event will close at 6:45 PM\, 15 minutes before the start time.
