WELCOME!

The conference is FULL. We are excited that so many will be taking advantage of the opportunity this year!  As we are at capacity, please note 3 important items:

* Recheck/refresh this schedule on Saturday morning to see what rooms your desired sessions are in. We continue to change room assignments based on the level of interest in each session.

* Use one seat and move to the middle. Every seat will be used in the auditorium and likely in many breakout sessions as well. Please allow as many to sit as possible by using one seat and moving to the middle of a row of seats so others may sit down without climbing over you.

* Be patient. No matter how hard we try, history tells us that some breakout sessions will end up being standing room only for fill up completely.  Please understand that we are trying our very best to make this a productive and enjoyable learning opportunity for you and as many of your fellow Montessorians as possible.  Your patience will help the most people receive the most benefit from this conference.

It could be said that the heart and soul of a Montessori Elementary class is the children's independent research work.What can we expect them to learn about? Why is this work important? How can they go about their work? And how much choice should they have? The entire second plane of development will be addressed, from the first steps of the 6-7 year olds to the final preparation of the 6th year Elementary students. (The use of computers will be touched upon but the assumption is that we will be guided by developmental principles that emphasize work with the hand before the abstraction.)
