Details
Presenter: Sara Gensic
For: General Interest
CPD hours: 1.5
Available: On Demand
Does the idea of opening a Montessori school strongly resonate with you? Have you considered all of the reasons why? Do you know your own “school story” and can you articulate how it relates to your desire to start a school? If you are an experienced Montessori teacher—serving any age level—and you have thought about opening a school, perhaps it is time to reflect on the possibility of making your vision a reality, and seek expert advice.
This webinar will offer a glimpse into the process of opening a school. Sara will guide you through her loose story-like timeline complete with suggestions, reflections, and practical tips about her journey. She will encourage you to think deeply about the necessary steps before, during, and after the first year of opening a school. As a Montessori teacher leader who “survived” her first year as a co-founding team for a micro-Montessori school serving ages 3 – 12, Sara is here to dispel myths and answer your questions.
