Understanding Where Our Adolescents Are

Trainer: EMILY DOWELL

Age-level: 12-18

In From Childhood to Adolescence, Dr. Montessori identifies a farm as the ideal prepared environment for the 12-18 year old but the young people we work with a more likely to reside in urban or suburban settings. This session will review why Montessori believed work on the land is essential to the optimal development of adolescents and examine how even the most urban Adolescent Communities can incorporate these principles.
