Recognize the child as a spiritual being with perfect inner guidance for its own self-directed normal development.
Resolve Misbehavior in children by using specific techniques, protocols, lesson presentations and safe words to "control the environment, not the child."
Practice skills and technology of true natural Montessori teaching through observation exercises, discussion, sample demonstrations, and role-play drama as related to real-life situations with children.
About the Workshop
The workshop provides practical guidance for conducting Montessori teaching as a scientific way of being that supports true natural development in children. It presents comprehensive technology for implementing this true natural Montessori teaching to effectively control the environment, not the child. The basic experiment in this approach is testing the premise that all children have a perfect inner guidance for their own true normal self-directed development.
At the workshop, Lee Havis, founder and director of International Montessori Society (IMS), presents the technology that allows anyone to conduct Montessori teaching in an objective, reliable manner that was never before possible. Using this technology, you will discover the child’s true nature, showing such outward normal behavior as spontaneous self-discipline, love of order and complete harmony with others. Lee discovered and consolidated this breakthrough technology in 2003 from his own extensive study and experiences with true natural Montessori teaching, which he discovered in 1979. Until 2003, any such technical knowledge was considered non-existent, unknowable or otherwise impossible to fully describe.
The IMS technology consists of a series of techniques, protocols, lesson presentations, and safe words, which you can use for conducting the same scientific experiment that brought about Dr. Montessori’s discovery of the child’s true nature in 1907. With the new technology however, you will be conducting this experiment in a conscious, intentional manner.
Lee leads the workshop in a lively experiential manner that includes a slide-show presention, video clips, group discussion, demonstrations, examples, materials presentations and role-play drama. For example, you will see how to use such techniques as distraction,
eye contact, and proximity to resolve common misbehavior scenarios of disorder and inattention in a peaceful, friendly manner.
You will also learn how to present the distinctive self-teaching Montessori materials to free children to their own independent learning. The workshop will also help you join with others in the vital work of creating Dr. Montessori’s vision of a new education in the world.
Attending the workshop you will learn how to apply the IMS technology to bring about magical moments with children. here are some examples
