  • Love love love

    As an educator (and currently a homeschooling mama of three), I cannot say enough good things about this podcast. It feels like I’m sitting down with good friends and talking about one of my favorite topics... Montessori! So informative yet approachable and fun to listen to. If you are interested in montessori or just educational (and even parenting) philosophies in general, give it a listen!

    I’m just starting out on my journey of being a Montessori guide, and this podcast has been my go-to place when I’m feeling overwhelmed or uninspired. Thank you for creating a great podcast with tons of great advice. The two educators heading this podcast are full of love, wisdom, and experience!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Effectively Communicate with School Administration with Jamie Rue
Q: Is it better to talk in person or over email when new concerns arise?
Both have value; email can work if you avoid personal tone pitfalls, but in-person or scheduled chats, especially during lunch or after-hours, often yield quicker, more nuanced problem-solving.
How to Effectively Communicate with School Administration with Jamie Rue
Q: What should teachers do to communicate effectively with administration?
Approach communication with transparency and humanity, recognize the admin as humans with their own responsibilities, and use clear, direct language while choosing the right channel (email, in-person, or set office hours).
The Power of Dance through Life, Grief, and Transitions with Kei Ikeda
Q: How can someone connect with Kei's work or get in touch?
Visit the Montessori Dance site for resources and contact via the contact form or email kei@montessoridance.com.au; social media links can be included as follow-up.
The Power of Dance through Life, Grief, and Transitions with Kei Ikeda
Q: Let's say there is a child having difficulty with emotions or regulation, how could a guide in the classroom utilize dance to help?
Provide a dedicated movement space, a small movement shelf, and options for private or group movement activities, allowing children to move as a coping mechanism while maintaining classroom boundaries.
The Third Year of Primary with Austin Matte
Q: What is your self-care recommendation for someone running a Montessori program?
As the program matures, find pockets of free time on weekends to recharge, pursue personal activities like snowboarding or cycling, and protect personal time to maintain energy for the work.
