"Caring for our Community" Workshop Series

“Caring for Our Community” Webinars ~ January-February 2021
As we reach the middle of this very difficult school year, the Montessori Alliance of Tennessee is happy to offer the “Caring for Our Community” webinars—a series of online, Saturday-morning workshops led by experienced Montessorians designed to support Montessori educators and administrators in our state.
These webinars will focus on topics related to self-care for teachers and administrators, meeting the emotional needs of students and families, addressing issues raised by the pandemic, etc. Each webinar will be independent, so you can pick and choose which ones to attend—or attend them all if you want. The schedule for the webinars is included below.
Length: Each webinar will be 60-90 minutes long.
