This keynote address is an invitation to explore collectively how Montessori educators and leaders can utilize self-reflection to achieve an embodied equity integration practice.

What are Montessori classroom-based Interventions? ? Montessori classroom-based interventions are “how to” steps that support learners’ ability to use materials and demonstrate their learning and development. They share six defining characteristics; they are simple, intentional, research informed, flexible, and focused while maintaining fidelity to the Montessori method of education. Perhaps most importantly, they support learning by making work with materials more efficient and effective. P.S. Using a black background is a Montessori classroom-based intervention for children struggling with literacy skills. Find out why in Chapter 5??!
