PDMC Advanced Practitioner's Class

The Advanced Practitioner’s Class (formerly the Master Class) is designed for Montessori educators and leaders who have taken the Practitioner’s Class. The goal of this course is to deepen participants’ understanding of the principles and practices of Positive Discipline in the Montessori Classroom and to advance its consistent and effective implementation in classrooms and schools. Particular focus is given to understanding mistaken belief systems, collaboratively addressing misbehavior, and developing consistent practices among adults that promote security and social success for children.

In this class, participants will:

✓Discover practices that enhance consistency among teaching and leadership teams.
✓Deepen their understanding of the Mistaken Goal Chart and its effective application.
✓Discover new tools to help address “the belief behind the behavior”.
✓Learn to address misbehavior proactively before significant challenges arise.
✓Take a deep dive into developing student support plans using the child-study process.
✓Explore how to use the Class Meeting to support conflict resolution, and build strong student leadership skills.

Platform

The class is held live via Zoom. Access details and materials will be emailed one week prior to the first session.
