025: Interview with Jess Gagne on New Students, Favorite Lessons, and More!

It’s incredible to see the growth of students when you allow them to take charge of their learning and progress at their own pace. Growth doesn’t happen on someone else’s timetable, it happens at the right moment. Giving students the space and independence to learn on their own timeline often leads to an explosion of growth that feels more meaningful because it’s natural, not forced upon them.  In this episode of Trillium Talks, I sat down with Jess Gagne, an elementary Montessori guide, to talk about everything Montessori. Jess shares her experiences with allowing students to get involved in their lessons, tips for working with students that are new to Montessori methodology, game-changing systems, and the value of patience and allowing your students to learn and grow at their own pace. What’s in this episode:How Jess gets her students involved in their lessonsThe types of lessons her students enjoyTips for helping children new to Montessori in the first few weeksGame-changing systems Jess has used in her Montessori classroomThe value of patience and letting students go at their own paceThe benefits of a mixed-age classroomFor full show notes, resources, links and to download the transcript, visit https://www.trilliummontessori.org/an-interview-with-jess-gagne/Connect With UsVisit our websiteFollow us on InstagramConnect with us on FacebookThe Montessori Classroom Bootcamps will be open for enrollment July 21-29.
