Amy Kirkham: Inclusion and Meeting the Needs of All

Inclusion and meeting the needs of all

We say we follow the child, Montessori is for all children – but is it? Are we really meeting the needs of all children? —The child who is gifted, who has additional needs or challenges, who speaks a different language or comes from a different cultural background? Are we being inclusive?

Come to this workshop to explore what inclusion means and how we can all become better at identifying and then meeting the needs of each child.

This event is for Montessori educators.
