014: The Montessori Assistant Toolkit

When we talk about the Montessori classroom, we often talk about two groups: teachers and students. But there’s another key player in the classroom, someone whose role is vital to the success of teachers and students alike: the assistant! Even in the fast-paced classroom environment, it’s important that assistants be given the resources and opportunities to educate themselves on how best to interact with and nurture their students.In this episode, we’re talking about our brand new resource for elementary assistants, The Montessori Assistant Toolkit. We’re explaining how this educational resource sets the entire classroom up for success and makes teachers’ lives easier. Plus, we’re sharing how you can access the toolkit–either for yourself or your assistants.What’s in this episode:Why it’s sometimes difficult for assistants to get the training they needWhy assistants need training in both the practical and socio-emotional aspects of managing a classroomHow educational resources for teachers and assistants set the entire classroom up for successWhat’s included in this toolkit and what assistants will learnHow assistant education lays a foundation for long, healthy teacher-assistant relationshipsWho this toolkit is for and how to gain access to itFor full show notes, resources, links and to download the transcript, visit trilliummontessori.org/podcastExplore The Montessori Assistant Toolkit, Elementary Edition here: courses.trilliummontessori.org/p/montessori-assistant-toolkit-eeConnect With UsVisit our websiteFollow us on InstagramConnect with us on FacebookThe Montessori Classroom Bootcamps will be open for enrollment July 21-29.
