Child Study is a Montessori-based approach to meeting the needs of all children, resolving difficulties early, and using a wide range of data to support student development. A commitment to serving children through Child Study has the power to change a school’s culture from deficit-based fault-finding to curiosity-based solution-finding. This 8-week online training prepares educators to implement the Child Study Protocol whether students are learning at home or in school.
Child Study Training includes readings, video lectures, written assignments, and five live sessions:
- April 13, 7:00–8:00pm ET
- April 27, 7:00–8:00pm ET
- May 11, 7:00–8:00pm ET
- May 25, 7:00–8:00pm ET
- June 1, 7:00–8:00pm ET
