Unfortunately, many schools and classrooms are experiencing a lack of resources: Montessori materials, trained guides, and even basic school supplies. In times like these, it’s important to get creative! While the Montessori method does rely heavily on hands-on education, there are plenty of ways to inspire curiosity and learning without access to a wealth of resources.In this episode, we share a few ways you can address the eight principles of Montessori education without access to Montessori materials or trained guides. We share the importance of helping your students engage in meaningful work and how to incorporate it in the classroom and at home. We also explain how to organize your limited classroom supplies to make them accessible for your students.What’s in this episode:Why so many schools and classrooms lack resources right nowHow the Montessori method allows for guides and parents who want to create their own materials and lessonsHow to address the eight principles of Montessori education with limited materials or untrained guidesWhy it’s sometimes better to limit materials at the start of a new lessonHow to use your students’ natural curiosity to guide your lessonsWhy we don’t believe in rewarding students for their classroom performanceHow to provide opportunities for students to do meaningful workHow to organize your limited supplies to maximize their potentialFor full show notes, resources, links and to download the transcript, visit https://www.trilliummontessori.org/Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Montessori: The Science Behind the Genius by Angeline Stoll LillardConnect With UsVisit our websiteFollow us on InstagramConnect with us on Facebook
