This is a tentative schedule and is subject to change. We are still awaiting titles from several presenters who are not listed. If you have a preference of which day would fit your topic best please feel free to reach out to Carolyn to let her know.
Presentation + PowerPoint
We kindly request your preparation of a 30 minute - one-hour presentation that will bring significant and practical value to the Montessori community. Our overarching aim is to ensure that attendees depart with actionable steps they can readily apply within their classrooms and school communities.
It's important to note that our attendees come to us already well-versed in the Montessori philosophy. Consequently, our objective is to provide them with a fresh perspective on materials, lessons, or approaches that will invigorate their practices.
You have the creative liberty to choose from the following presentation formats:
- Slides (with a provided template)
- A slide-free, personable presentation
- A blend of both approaches
Your presentation should encompass the following key elements:
- Introduction: Begin by offering a brief introduction of yourself, sharing your Montessori background, and your journey within the field. This establishes a connection between you and our audience.
- Topic Overview: Provide a concise yet comprehensive overview of your chosen topic, setting the stage for what attendees can anticipate in terms of learning and exploration.
- Valuable Insights: Importantly, furnish your presentation with substantive, valuable information that adds depth and value to your chosen topic.
- Actionable Steps: Equally essential is the provision of specific, actionable steps that attendees can readily implement in their classrooms or school communities based on the knowledge you've imparted.
We eagerly anticipate your presentation and the positive impact it will undoubtedly have on our attendees!
