This was one of my favourite PD's. It was wonderful to have such concrete examples of how to educate. 6-12 years Curriculum Workshop
Of all the PD I have attended over the last ten years, this has been one of my favourite. It has really invigorated me in my Montessori teaching practice, reminded me of why Montessori and given me tangible tools I can take away and use in my classroom.
The presenter was very engaging and knowledgeable. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole PD. I am looking forward to implementing new activities in my classroom. 6-12 years Curriculum Workshop
