The Montessori Influence: Demystifying Montessori Lingo

Lynda Apostol

Description

How much time do you spend interpreting terminology on social media? In the age of information overload, it can become difficult to decipher what’s what. Don’t be discouraged. In this chat we will discuss popular terminology and Montessori lingo and why it is sometimes so difficult to decipher…even by Montessorians themselves! You’ll walk away with some good laughs and clarity to support you with streamlining all those resources you already have and with a direction on how to get the information you need by knowing what to look for.

Some of the fun lingo to be covered:

  • What’s the difference? Montessori Homeschool vs Montessori at Home vs Montessori classroom
  • Is Montessori Parenting a “thing”?
  • Albums, manuals, and curriculum … oh my!
  • What on earth is a scope & sequence? and how is that different from a curriculum or a flow chart?
  • What does it mean to follow the child?
  • Interest-led learning vs. child-led learning
    and more!
