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.

Streamline and Simplify: Let your Vision Lead the Way

Log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Feedback form is now closed.

Today's educational demands can be very overwhelming. While the intent is to stay focused, there are many distractions that can lead towards deviations from our path of teaching academic content and providing high quality instruction. Creating a visual of school values for providing the best service to our students can be used as a road map to intentionally keep our focus on track. In this session you will begin to draft your school's vision and value map, identify areas where the intent does not match the reality, and brainstorm ideas for streamlining and simplifying the path through reduction of distractions and hindrances to our mission.
