The 9th Annual MAT Conference is moving to Community Montessori in Jackson, TN!
MAT is excited to announce that our annual conference will be held in Jackson, TN, at Community Montessori--one of Tennessee's only public Montessori schools!
MAT seeks workshop presenters for our 9th Annual Conference on September 16, 2023. Our theme--Our Roots: Montessori fundamentals--encourages participants to embrace, renew, and crystalize the roots of Dr. Montessori's Philosophy and Pedagogy.
We are specifically seeking sessions that will enrich the day's theme of examining our most fundamental Montessori principles and practices for all classroom levels and areas of study. Topics of consideration include Human Needs and Tendencies; Four Planes of Development; The Absorbent Mind; Sensitive Periods; The Prepared Environment; Observation; Normalization and Deviations; Spiritual Preparation/Role of the Adult; Independence; Freedom and Discipline; Three Levels of Obedience; Social Development; Cosmic Education; The Great Lessons; Grace & Courtesy; Auto Education; Practical Life; Home School Connection; our Cosmic Task; Respect for the Child; Educating the Whole Child; Intrinsic Motivation; The Erkinder; Freedom of Movement; Choice; and Independence.
1. We offer our presenters free registration for the conference, which will include a delicious lunch. We will book a hotel block for the conference for your convenience, but all travel, lodging, and food expenses (outside of lunch Saturday) are the responsibility of each presenter.
2. Each session is approximately 90 minutes long. This includes time for questions and answers if you so wish to provide that time.
3. Please submit one form for each separate workshop proposal.
4. Presenters should have at least five years of experience in the area they wish to present.
5. We are considering proposals until May 1, 2023, or until all session times have been filled with accepted proposals. Prospective presenters will be notified within three weeks of their submission whether or not their proposal is accepted.
MAT also seeks vendors for the 9th annual conference!
