The Montessori Assistant with Kate & Terry Millie
Montessori Education with Jesse McCarthy
-What is a Montessori assistant -- what is his/her role? -What happens when an assistant disagrees with a head teacher or guide -- and what happens when real conflict arises between them? -Should assistants speak with parents, or is that solely the job of the head Montessori teacher or administrators? These and other big questions about assistants in the Montessori classroom are asked and answered in this super practical yet also deep discussion about the job of an assistant. Episode is especially for teachers and administrators (and curious parents) of children from birth through elementary.

It's not about the chicken fingers
Montessori Education with Jesse McCarthy
Sometimes what we think is the problem is not really the problem. Digging deeper into the things that might stress us out, that might bring on strong emotions. "The real preparation for education is a study of one's self." Maria Montessori "When you see good, collect yourself and absorb what you've witnessed. When you see what is ungood, allow yourself to feel the upset and then look within." -adaptation of Xunzi, student of Confucius
