How To Talk Like A Montessori Teacher
Taught by Lisa Bruno
A Brooklyn native and passionate crafter from childhood, Lisa learned to knit, crochet and sew from her Italian seamstress Grandmother. With a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts from Hunter College, Lisa honed her various craft skills as a student and staff member at the renowned craft school, John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC over 10 years ago. Since then Lisa has taught classes at the Folk School in weaving, quilting and hand lettering. Lisa also has a Master's degree in Early Childhood Education as well as being an AMI certified Montessori teacher with hopes of one day opening her own school in Brooklyn where she will teach children to knit, sew and write in beautiful cursive.
Ever wonder why a child listens to their teacher and not you? Montessori educators are trained to prepare an environment and use positive and intentional phrasing to have effective communication with children that encourages discipline without having to be authoritarian.
In this class, you will gain tools that will have children eager to listen and accomplish what you ask without threat or punishment. Learn tricks of the trade from a professional Montessori trained educator with over ten years of experience in schools and homes.
We'll discuss how to give your child independence and freedom within limits, how to prepare your environment, and what to say to avoid tantrums. And what to do when those unavoidable tantrums occur. We'll also discuss some of the principles and history of Montessori Education.
