Friday Night Lecture ~ 9-28-2018 at 7:00 PM
Saturday Conference ~ 9-29-2018 from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Friday Night's Keynote Speaker is Wendy Calise. She will speak on Agency and Empathy – The Cornerstones of Our Work.
Agency, or the urge to ask, “What can I do?” rather than “Who did this?” is essential for personal growth, a sense of control, and resilience. Agency is what helps to take care of the individual. Empathy, on the other hand, is what helps us to care for one another. If either of these faculties is left undeveloped, a life is simply not what it might have been.
Saturday's Keynote Speaker is Tammy Oesting. She will present Tools to Amplify Learning: Research-Based Strategies for the Montessori Guide. Scientific observation is at the heart of Montessori practice and a vital tool that teachers utilize daily to engage their students. Current research reveals the inner workings of the brain and supports what Dr. Montessori identified through her keen observations of the child. Montessori educators who leverage their understanding of the science behind their practices, equipped with research-based teaching strategies, enhance student learning and amplify outcomes. Tapping into each teacher’s mission to become a scientist in the field, Tammy Oesting will inspire their spirit and optimize their practice with hands-on, research-based practical strategies loyal to Montessori pedagogy. Tammy’s keen curiosity about why Montessori works and her subsequent search for ways to reinforce lessons and interactions with children strengthened her understanding of Montessori pedagogy and led to more effective student outcomes.
